Peristylus biermannianus is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae . [2] [3] It is native to Nepal and the eastern Himalayas. [1]

Taxonomy

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. [4]
