Peristylus biermannianus is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to Nepal and the eastern Himalayas.[1]
Taxonomy
[edit]The species was first described in 1895 as Habenaria biermanniana. It was later transferred to Platanthera.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 found that Platanthera biermanniana was deeply embedded inside a clade otherwise consisting of species of Peristylus. It was transferred to Peristylus, becoming Peristylus biermannianus.[2]
