Abstract
Spiranthes sinensis (Pers.) Ames grows almost everywhere in open, sunny areas and even in disturbed areas, in eastern and southeastern Asia from Sakhalin and Siberia, Russia, to India and down to the eastern part of Australia. Since its natural variants such as variegated forms, double-flowered forms, and differently colored flower forms are horticulturally meritorious, they have been economically valuable and have often been cultivated.
