Notes: Platanthera arcuata was described by Lindley (1835) based on a solitary specimen collected by Royle from Mussoorie. However, the type and other collections of P. arcuata closely resemble the type of P. japonica . Generally, the difference between P. japonica and P. arcuata is the presence of a simple lip vs. a lobed lip respectively. In actuality the lip always has a pair of lateral lobes near its base in both species.
