Consequently, in my judgment, the valid name of the 
species is Spiranthes sinensis (Pers.) Ames. For a 
nearly complete bibliography and synonymy of the spe- 
cies, confer Ames Orch. 2 (1908) 58 and Ames in Merrill 
Enum. Philip. Flow. Pls. 1 (1924) 268. Since the issue 
of this last publication, a few new synonyms, which have 
no bearing on the nomenclatorial status of the species, 
have been published.
