Gennaria griffithii is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native from Afghanistan to China. It is a terrestrial species, with a small tuber and small greenish flowers, found in damp places. It has a complicated taxonomic history, having been transferred between genera several times. When placed in a genus on its own it is correctly known as Dithrix griffithii. In 2015, it was transferred to the genus Gennaria.
Gennaria griffithii is native from Afghanistan through Pakistan and the western Himalayas into China (Yunnan). It is also found in south-west India. It typically grows along the banks of rivers.
