2709 Pseudorchis Ség.
- Ség., Pl. Veron. 3: 254 (1754).
- Leucorchis E. Mey., Preuss. Pfl.Gatt.: 50 (1839).
Notes: The genus name Pseudorchis is validly published and is the priority genus name (Reinhammar 1995). There is good support for P. albida and P. straminea as two species (Reinhammar 1997, 1998; Reinhammar and Hedrén 1998). They differ in several characters, some of them qualitative. They are sympatric in many parts of Scandinavia, sometimes co-occurring within sites, but no transition has been documented. Both species reach the Arctic.
