Abstract:

 A morphological comparison is made between Epipactis consimilis D. Don, E. helleborine (L.) Crantz and E. veratrifolia Boiss. et Hohen. The true identity of Epipactis consimilis D. Don is discussed. As a result, Epipactis veratrifolia Boiss et Hohen., is recognized as a valid name to replace E. consimilis D. Don, a name formerly accepted by Rolfe and recently used in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae vol. 17.

Key words: Epipactis consimilis, E. helleborine, E. veratrifolia
