[Botany • 2017] Bulbophyllum yunxiaoense (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae) • A New Species of Bulbophyllum sect. Cirrhopetalum from Fujian, China: Morphological and Molecular analyses
Abstract We have described and illustrated a new species, Bulbophyllum yunxiaoense (Malaxideae, Epidendroideae, Orchidaceae), from Fujian Province in southeast China. The size and overall floral morphology of the new species are similar to those of Bulbophyllum pingtungense, a species endemic to Taiwan Island on the southeast coast of China and its closest relative according to a cladistic analysis of nuclear (ITS) and plastid (matK, trnL-F, and atpI-atpH) DNA sequences. However, B. yunxiaoense is distinguishable from B. pingtungense by flower colour, shorter scape, and longer lateral sepal. Keywords: Monocots, Asian orchids, Dendrobiinae, phylogenetics, Sect.
