======Section ''Chamaemelanium''======
''Chamaemelanium'' was one of a number of sections originally classified on the basis of the shape of the stigma, in this case one that was facial shaped, had an absent beak and had lateral beards. But this section has subsequently been shown to be paraphyletic, requiring revision. It occurs at high altitudes (above 600&nbsp;m) in both N America and northeast Asia, including Siberia and Korea, and the species are perennial, caulous and herbaceous.{{sfn|Whang|2002}} With about 61 species including;
