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

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 2003 as Amitostigma wenshanense.[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 wenshanensis.[2]
