Ponerorchis lepida (synonym Amitostigma lepidum) is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae found on Kyushu Island in Japan, and in Nansei-shoto (Ryukyu Islands) to the south.[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first described by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in 1878, as Gymnadenia lepida. It has been placed in various genera, including Gymnadenia, Orchis and Amitostigma.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014, in which it was included as Amitostigma lepidum, 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. Amitostigma and Neottianthe were subsumed into Ponerorchis, with this species becoming Ponerorchis lepida.[2]
