Taxonomy

The species was first described by Achille Eugène Finet in 1902, as Peristylus monanthus. It was later transferred to Orchis and to Amitostigma.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014, in which it was included as Amitostigma monanthum, 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 monantha.[2]

gollark: <@184468521042968577> Wait, you were testing with the non-v2 skynet, right? v2 was broken until this update.
gollark: The packet corruption thing?
gollark: That's probably more of a consequence of outdated mod versions and two players than anything else, though.
gollark: Somehow my private minecraft server with five times the mods running on a cheap server from ebay is currently more stable.
gollark: Yay! We can use skynet v2 now.
