Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1924 by Rudolf Schlechter, as Amitostigma physoceras.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 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 physoceras.[2]

gollark: My python/JS projects work *perfectly fine*, because nobody uses them.
gollark: Mine's got 4 cores too.
gollark: You know, you *can* probably partition the CPU use somehow.
