Hemipilia cucullata is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to temperate Eurasia from Poland to Japan, and also to the Himalayas.
[1] It is terrestrial, growing from tubers, to a height of up to 30 cm, with pinkish flowers arranged in a one-sided spike.
The sepals and lateral petals are about 1 mm shorter than the labellum, and together form a "hood".
[3] 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.
In Asia, it is found in Siberia, the Russian Far East, Mongolia, China, Japan and Korea.
