Hemipilia ovata is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to south-central China (western Sichuan).

Taxonomy

[edit]

The species was first described in 1997 by Kai Yung Lang, as Neottianthe ovata.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 found that species of Neottianthe, Amitostigma and Ponerorchis were mixed together in a single clade, making none of the three genera monophyletic as then circumscribed. Neottianthe and Amitostigma were subsumed into Ponerorchis, with this species then becoming Ponerorchis ovata.[2] The genus Ponerorchis has since been synonymized with the genus Hemipilia, resulting in the present name.
