Hemipilia keiskei is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae.

[1] The species was first described in 1879 by Karl Maximovich, using the name "Gymnadenia keiskei".

However, this name had already been published in 1878 for a different orchid species, so Maximovich's name was illegitimate.

In 1900, Achille Eugène Finet reduced the species to a variety as Gymnadenia gracilis var.

[2] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 included Amitostigma keiskei and 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.
