Hemipilia trifurcata is a species of flowering plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae. It is endemic to south-central China (north-western Yunnan). [1]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1982 as Amitostigma trifurcatum. [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 trifurcata. [3] The genus Ponerorchis has since been synonymized with the genus Hemipilia, resulting in the present name.
