Hemipilia monantha is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae native to China from south-eastern Tibet to south-central and north-central China.

[1] The species was first described by Achille Eugène Finet in 1902, as Peristylus monanthus.

It was later transferred to Orchis and to Amitostigma.

[2] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014, in which it was included as Amitostigma monanthum, 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.
