Chinese have been arguing among themselves about where to place this. I liked it better in Neottianthe calcicola, but then they transferred it to Ponerorchis cucullata var. calcicola in 2014 and now they want to call it Hemipilia calcicola since 2015.
Life is confusing with lesser plants and multiple opinions.
So many developments. Difficult to keep a track for a commoner like me. POWO already changed to Hemipilia calcicola but GBIF and CoL with the same name.
