Abstract

A new species of Orchidaceae, Phalaenopsiszhanhouana, from Xichou County, Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated. The novelty is close to P.taenialis, P.wilsonii, and P.stobartiana, but differs from them by having a distinct, fleshy anterior callus with a deeply lobed apex at the base of the labellum and lateral lobes of labellum reflexed and facing outward.
