Tsaiorchis keiskeoides is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to northern Vietnam. [1]
The species was first described in 1931 by François Gagnepain, as Habenaria keiskeoides. It was transferred to the genus Amitostigma in 1985. [1] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 treated Habenaria keiskoides as synonymous with Tsaiorchis neottianthoides . Although Tsaiorchis was shown to be close to some other genera, including Ponerorchis when expanded to include Amitostigma, it was regarded as sufficiently distinct to be maintained as a separate genus. [2] Sources such as the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families treat Tsaiorchis keiskeoides as a distinct species from Tsaiorchis neottianthoides. [1]
