Spiranthes niklasii, also known by the common name Niklas' ladies' tresses,[2] is a terrestrial orchid nearly endemic to the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas and Oklahoma with a few other known populations.

Unlike either of the two parent species leaves usually wilt away by the time it has flowers.

[3] The only known populations are in Arkansas and Oklahoma, mainly in the Ouachita Mountains.

They grow in xeric graminoid clearings and forest edges.
