Spiranthes sinensis, commonly known as the Chinese spiranthes, is a species of
orchid occurring in eastern and southeastern Asia.
[1]
Spiranthes sinensis was long thought to be a
species complex,
[2] and more than 30 names have been synonymized under it; recent molecular and morphological data found that the complex was composed of six distinct species. 'True' S. sinensis
sensu stricto is
glabrous, blooms in the spring, and has pale blush-pink flowers. This species had formerly been thought to occur throughout Asia and Australia, it is actually restricted to
southeast Asia, eastern
East Asia, and southern
Japan. The other species to be recognized out of this species complex are
Spiranthes australis,
Spiranthes flexuosa,
Spiranthes maokensis,
Spiranthes sunii, and
Spiranthes suishanensis.
