Ponerorchis compacta is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to south-central China (west Sichuan).[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1924 by Rudolf Schlechter, as Neottianthe compacta.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2014 found that species of Neottianthe, Amitostigma and Ponerorchis were mixed together in a single clade, making none of the three genera monophyletic as then circumscribed. Neottianthe and Amitostigma were subsumed into Ponerorchis, with this species becoming Ponerorchis compacta.[2]
