Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1896, as Herminium angustilabre. It was later placed in either the genus Monorchis or the genus Androcorys,[1] both now included in Herminium. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 found that it was deeply embedded in a clade of Platanthera species, and so transferred it to that genus as Platanthera angustilabris (King & Pantl.) X.H.Jin, Schuit. & W.T.Jin.[2] However, this name had already been used for a different species, Platanthera angustilabris Seidenf., so was an illegitimate name. In 2015, an acceptable replacement name, Platanthera stenochila, was published.[1][3]
