Ponerorchis gonggashanica
Ponerorchis gonggashanica is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to south-central China (south-west Sichuan). Taxonomy. The species was first described in 1984 by Kai Yung Lang, as "Amitostigma gonggashanicum". 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 gonggashanica".
