'''''Cephalanthera''''' is a genus of, mostly, terrestrial [[orchid]]s.  Members of this genus have [[rhizome]]s rather than [[tuber]]s.  About 15 species are currently recognised, several of them common in [[Europe]], for example the [[Sword-leaved Helleborine]] ''C. longifolia''.  Most others are native to [[Asia]], ranging from the [[Caucasus]], e.g. ''C. caucasica'', to [[Japan]], e.g. the [[Bamboo-leaved Silver Orchid]] ''C. longibracteata''.  The [[China|Chinese]] species ''C. gracilis'' was only described in [[2002]].  The only species found in [[North America]] is the [[Phantom Orchid]] or Snow Orchid ''C. austiniae''. Ecologically, this species is partially [[myco-heterotrophic]].  Some of the Eurasian species [[hybrid]]ise.

Several of the European species have common names including the word "[[helleborine]]", but this name does not correspond to any modern taxon, and orchids in other genera are also called helleborines.  In addition to those listed here, very large numbers of other specific names will be found in the older literature, but these are almost all [[synonym (biology)|synonym]]s for the best known species such as ''C. longifolia'' or ''C. damasonium'', the European [[White Helleborine]].
