Taxonomy
editThe species was first described by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in 1878, as Gymnadenia lepida. It has been placed in various genera, including Gymnadenia, Orchis and Amitostigma.[2] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014, in which it was included as Amitostigma lepidum, 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 lepida.[3] The genus Ponerorchis has since been synonymized with the genus Hemipilia, resulting in the present name.
