In the past they have been described as belonging to the genera ''[[Habenaria]]'', ''[[Gymnadenia]]'' or ''[[Galeorchis]]''.<br /> <br /> These orchids are between 8 and 15 cm tall. They have a [[sympodial]] growth, with long, slender, creeping [[rhizome]]s.<br /> <br /> The erect [[Plant stem|stem]] is cylindric, with 1 or 2 tubular sheaths at its foot.<br /> <br /> The broad, acute [[leaf|leaves]] are elliptic, spatulate or spatulate-oblanceolate. The plants show mostly two opposite leaves, (rarely 1 or 3) with a leafstalk, folded lengthwise.<br /> <br /> The [[inflorescence]] (1,5 &amp;ndash; 5 cm) is a raceme with 1-5 flowers; twisted to one side, growing on an erect scape (= naked peduncle rising from the ground). The main stalk is glabrous with spreading floral bracts. The glabrous, epigynous [[ovary (plants)|ovary]] is spindle-shaped. They bloom from July till August.<br /> <br /> The pink [[sepal]]s and [[petal]]s, are oblong with an obtuse apex. The dorsal sepals form a hood with the petals.<br /> <br /> The pink [[labellum|lip]] is marked with many purple dots and is as long as the sepals. It shows an oblong, elliptic or ovoid shape with a nearly entire margin. There is a short spur.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Species ==<br /> * ''Aorchis cyclochila'' (Russian Far East to Japan).<br /> * ''Aorchis spathulata'' (Himalaya to SC.
