Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1931 by François Gagnepain, as Habenaria keiskeoides. It was transferred to the genus Amitostigma in 1985.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 treated Habenaria keiskoides as synonymous with Tsaiorchis neottianthoides. Although Tsaiorchis was shown to be close to some other genera, including Ponerorchis when expanded to include Amitostigma, it was regarded as sufficiently distinct to be maintained as a separate genus.[2] Sources such as the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families treat Tsaiorchis keiskeoides as a distinct species from Tsaiorchis neottianthoides.[1]

gollark: The American system seems to generally be a mess, and I doubt you can pin it on one thing.
gollark: What, in *number* or *pay* or what?
gollark: I don't think you can just point at that as a final answer. What is that graph even showing growth in? Why is competition not creating an incentive to get rid of useless administrators? *Is* there even much competition?
gollark: I think the point is more that it's a system which mostly works well and has produced lots of nice things.
gollark: At some point you'll have to make tradeoffs, because going for "maximize lives saved right now at all costs" is a really terrible strategy.
