Hemipilia farreri

Hemipilia farreri is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae.

It is endemic to China, where it is found from south-eastern Tibet to north-western Yunnan.

[1] The species was first described in 1924 by Rudolf Schlechter, as Amitostigma farreri.

[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 Amitostigma farreri then becoming Ponerorchis farreri.
