Very non typical habitat for Goodyera repens.
They usually grow on road sides usually vertically, but this seems to
like Pine forests.
nice pic.

This is Goodyera marginata.

G. marginata will have proper white band along the mid rib of leaves for an easy id. But there are other features too.

Follow this: Liu, Y.W., X.X. Zhou, A. Schuiteman, P. Kumar, J. Hermans, S.W. Chung & H.Z. Tian. 2019. Taxonomic notes on Goodyera (Goodyerinae, Cranichideae, Orchidoideae, Orchidaceae) in China and an addition to orchid flora of Vietnam. Phytotaxa 395 (1): 027–034; https://doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.395.1.3

Also thanks for the link to your paper, I had a glance and will read it soon.
