Taxonomy
The species was first described by Bunzō Hayata in 1916 as Gymnadenia tominagae.[2] Hayata stated that the plant he described was collected by T. Tominaga. He spelt the specific epithet as "tominagai",[3] and this spelling has been used by some subsequent authors when transferring the species to a different genus.[4] However, the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants requires names not published in a form specified by the code to be corrected to conform to it, and personal names ending in "-a", even if the person is a man, should have an epithet in the genitive case formed by adding "-e".[5] The epithet is thus correctly spelt "tominagae".[2][4]
The species has been transferred to several genera: to Amitostigma, to Orchis, Ponerorchis, and now to Hemipilia. Several other species have been brought into synonymy with Hemipilia tominagae.
