Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1896, as Herminium angustilabre. It was later placed in either the genus Monorchis or the genus Androcorys,[1] both now included in Herminium. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 found that it was deeply embedded in a clade of Platanthera species, and so transferred it to that genus as Platanthera angustilabris (King & Pantl.) X.H.Jin, Schuit. & W.T.Jin.[2] However, this name had already been used for a different species, Platanthera angustilabris Seidenf., so was an illegitimate name. In 2015, an acceptable replacement name, Platanthera stenochila, was published.[1][3]

gollark: I like how the Alpine Linux https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_laptop page seems to be 75% ridiculously paranoid deniable encryption setup (dubiously useful, as nobody actually has disks full of random noise for no reason), with some short paragraphs on laptop things like actually having battery life.

gollark: Imagine discussing esolangs.
gollark: Quines aren't horribly large so it can be done.
gollark: None will be spared.
