Hemipilia luteola is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to south-central China (north-western Yunnan). [1]
The species was first described in 1996 as Neottianthe luteola. [2] 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. Neottianthe and Amitostigma were subsumed into Ponerorchis, with this species then becoming Ponerorchis luteola. [3] The genus Ponerorchis has since been synonymized with the genus Hemipilia, resulting in the present name.
