Hemipilia capitata is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae. [2] It is endemic to China, where it is known from Sichuan and Hubei. [3] [1] It produces white flowers. [4]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1936 by Tsin Tang and Fa Tsuan Wang, as Amitostigma capitatum. [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 capitata. [5] The genus Ponerorchis has since been synonymized with the genus Hemipilia, resulting in the present name.
