The orchid genus Hemipilia Lindi. sensu stricto is represented by a single species, H. cordifolia Lindi. in Himachal Pradesh, NorthWest Himalayas. It is sparsely distributed in the mid Himalayan zone in shady to semi-shady and moist floors of coniferous and mixed forests. The present paper describes the species based upon its collections from this state, and provides details on its distribution, habitat, phenology, and threats faced by natural populations.
