Gymandenia lithopolitanica, the Austrian gymnadenia, is a species of orchid endemic to a portion of the eastern Alps spanning Austria and Slovenia.

[1] Gymandenia lithopolitanica have a short and dense inflorescence in a spherical or dome to slightly oval shape.

[2] Gymandenia lithopolitanica populations have been found in southern Austria in the states of Carinthia and Styria and in northern Slovenia.

[2] The first mention of what was likely Gymnadenia lithpolitanica is a note by Franz Xaver Wulfen from 1783 about pink vanilla orchids.

After being treated as variation or subspecies for centuries in 1978 Vlado Ravnik described it as a full species.
