|discussion=<p><i>Liparis liliifolia</i> has what appear to be extremely similar relatives in Japan [<i>L. japonica</i> (Miquel) Maximowicz and L. makinoana Schlechter] and China (L. pauliana Handel-Mazzetti and L. cathcartii Hooker f.). Further work is needed to clarify the relationships among these five species. It could be a case of either divergent evolution from a common ancestor or convergent evolution from two or more ancestors.</p>
