Spiranthes incurva, the Sphinx ladies' tresses, is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae.[1][2] This orchid is native to the upper Midwest and Great Lakes Basin of North America.[1] The species was originally described as Ibidium incurvum Jenn. in 1906.[3][4] Long treated as part of a sensu lato Spiranthes cernua, the species complex was reevaluated and Spiranthes incurva reestablished as a separate species in 2017. Spiranthes incurva is an ancient natural hybrid of S. cernua sensu stricto and S. magnicamporum.[5]
