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: Well, half my friends have *eventually* gotten round to using it.
gollark: ... yes.
gollark: I don't really *need* this too badly, but it would be useful to copy my signal chat history and stuff off.
