Hemipilia tibetica is a species of flowering plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae, which is endemic to China. It is found from south-eastern Tibet to south-central China (north-western Yunnan).[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The species was first described in 1924 by Rudolf Schlechter, as Amitostigma tibeticum.[2] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 found that species of Amitostigma, Neottianthe and Ponerorchis were mixed together in a single clade, making none of the three genera monophyletic as then circumscribed. Amitostigma and Neottianthe were subsumed into Ponerorchis, with this species then becoming Ponerorchis tibetica.[3] The genus Ponerorchis has since been synonymized with the genus Hemipilia, resulting in the present name.
