Ponerorchis graminifolia is correct! Orchis is totally different but the
name has been grossly and widely misused, especially in North America in the
past! See Genera Orchidacearum Vol II , Orchidoideae , eds Pridgeon et al.
2001, Oxford University Press, for an authoritative account of the genera of
most of the terrestrial tuberous orchids.
