Ponerorchis papilionacea is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to south-central China (north-west Sichuan).[1] Plants of the World Online considers it an unplaced taxon – "names that cannot be accepted, nor can they be put into synonymy."[2]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The species was first described in 1982 as Amitostigma papilionaceum.[1] 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 becoming Ponerorchis papilionacea.[3] The genus Ponerorchis has now been synonymized with the genus Hemipilia, but the species name is now considered unplaced.
