This entity has been widely known as Dactylorhiza latifolia (Linnaeus) Soó, a name that can no longer be used because its basionym, Orchis latifolia Linnaeus, has been rejected outright (see Vienna Code, p. 477). In Europe, the name D. latifolia has been applied in the sense of what is now generally known as D. incarnata. We regard D. hatagirea as an Asian species that is taxonomically distinct from D. incarnata.
