Abstract:
In addition to describing a new species, Cypripedium wumengense, as well
as a new variety, C. bardolphianum var. zhongdianense, nomenclatural and taxonomic
notes are made on its allies and the division to which they belong. They are ltrge]y
found in the Hengduan Mountains in southwestern China, characterized by the absence
of bract, havirg lip more or less covered with small wart-like outgrowths, and that as
the capsule matures the scape becomes much elongated. Six species of this group have
hitherto been reported, of which, however, C. ebracteatum and C. nutans are regarded
here as conspecific with C. fargesii and C. bardolphianum respectively. Thus, including
the new taxa described here, it composes five species and one variety: C. bardolphianum
W. W. Sm. et Farrer (var. bardolphianum and var. zhongdianense S. C. Chen), C. mic-
ranthum Franch., C. fargesii Franch., C. margaritaceum Franch. and C. wumengense
S. C. Chen. They are all grouped here into the same section, Sect. Trigonopedium
(Franch.) Pfitz., the oldest legitimate name of this group in the rank of section.
