Description
Summary:Liparis maguanensis , a new orchid species from Yunnan province of China, is described and illustrated here based on morphological and molecular analyses. Morphologically, this species closely resembles L. viridiflora , but it can be distinguished by having only a single leaf (versus two leaves in L. viridiflora ), a 15–25 cm long loosely 40–45‐flowered inflorescence (versus 14–40 cm, densely 80–90‐flowered), and a 2–4 cm obovate‐elliptic pseudobulb (versus 7–18 cm, cylindric). Phylogenetic analysis using nrITS and plastid mat K DNA sequences further supports the distinctiveness of Liparis maguanensis as a separate species.
