To distinguish Malaxis bayardii from M. uniflora, fine measurements under magnification are required. The primary difference is that the flowers of Bayard’s Adder’s-mouth have larger basal lobes relative to the lip size.... Also, the flower pedicels of Bayard’s Adder’s-mouth are generally shorter (typically 3.4-5 mm). For more details, see the Green Adder's-mouth (Malaxis unifolia) fact sheet from the Massachusetts Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program.
