Four new species, Cheirostylis calcarata X. H. Jin & S. C. Chen, C. malipoensis X. H. Jin & S. C. Chen, Gastrochilus alatus X. H. Jin & S. C. Chen, and G. malipoensis X. H. Jin & S. C. Chen, together with seven new records, Bulbophyllum rolfei, B. ovatilabellum, Eria cristata, G. affinis, Listera micrantha, Luisia macrotis, and Oberonia teres, of Orchidaceae are reported from Yunnan, China. Cheirostylis calcarata differs from its ally C. spathulata by having a vertical rhizome, a spurred lip, and stylidia much longer than rostellum arms; Cheirostylis malipoensis from C. yunnanensis by its internodes with constricted ends, hypochile with a longitudinal septum, and stylidia shorter than rostellum arms; Gastrochilus alatus from G. distichus by having yellow flowers, and wider and membranous epichile with longitudinal ridge centrally; Gastrochilus malipoensis from G. calceolaris by its racemose inflorescences, and glabrous and semicircular epichile. The new record, Bulbophyllum rolfei, is characterized by its dorsal sepal half as long as the lateral sepals, inflorescence equaling or exceeding leaves, lateral sepals connate for at least part of their length; Bulbophyllum ovatilabellum by its forked lateral veins in dorsal sepal and a U-shaped callus on the lip; Eria cristata by its purple and reflexed bracts, white to cream lip with three calli adaxially; Gastrochilus affinis by its dentate-margined epichile with two ridges ranging from base to apex; Listera micrantha by its trilobed-tipped lip; Luisia macrotis by lateral sepals as long as lip, petals less than 5 mm wide, and lip dark purple with cordate epichile; Oberonia teres by its terete leaves and emarginated midlobe.

Abstract Four new species, Cheirostylis calcarata X. H. Jin & S. C. Chen, C. malipoensis
X. H. Jin & S. C. Chen, Gastrochilus alatus X. H. Jin & S. C. Chen, and G. malipoensis X. H.
Jin & S. C. Chen, together with seven new records, Bulbophyllum rolfei, B. ovatilabellum,
Eria cristata, G. affinis, Listera micrantha, Luisia macrotis, and Oberonia teres, of
Orchidaceae are reported from Yunnan, China. Cheirostylis calcarata differs from its ally C.
spathulata by having a vertical rhizome, a spurred lip, and stylidia much longer than rostellum
arms; Cheirostylis malipoensis from C. yunnanensis by its internodes with constricted ends,
hypochile with a longitudinal septum, and stylidia shorter than rostellum arms; Gastrochilus
alatus from G. distichus by having yellow flowers, and wider and membranous epichile with
longitudinal ridge centrally; Gastrochilus malipoensis from G. calceolaris by its racemose
inflorescences, and glabrous and semicircular epichile. The new record, Bulbophyllum rolfei,
is characterized by its dorsal sepal half as long as the lateral sepals, inflorescence equaling or
exceeding leaves, lateral sepals connate for at least part of their length; Bulbophyllum
ovatilabellum by its forked lateral veins in dorsal sepal and a U-shaped callus on the lip; Eria
cristata by its purple and reflexed bracts, white to cream lip with three calli adaxially;
Gastrochilus affinis by its dentate-margined epichile with two ridges ranging from base to
apex; Listera micrantha by its trilobed-tipped lip; Luisia macrotis by lateral sepals as long as
lip, petals less than 5 mm wide, and lip dark purple with cordate epichile; Oberonia teres by
its terete leaves and emarginated midlobe.
Key words new species, new record, Orchidaceae, Yunnan, China.
During our botanical trips to Yunnan Province, South China from 2003 to 2006, some
new and little known species of Orchidaceae were observed (such as Jin et al., 2004; Jin,
2005, 2006; Jin & Li, 2006, 2007; Jin et al., 2007a, b) . Among them are four new species of
Cheirostylis Bl. and Gastrochilus D. Don, and seven new records as follows.
Cheirostylis comprises about 50 species distributed from tropical Africa to the Pacific
Asia (Seidenfaden, 1978; Lang, 1999; Pearce & Cribb, 2002; Pridgeon et al., 2003). This is a
very distinct genus, characterized by its sepals connate to form a sepaline tube, lip with a
saccate base containing a few papillae, claw entire on either side, column with two stylidia
(Seidenfaden, 1978; Lang, 1999; Pearce & Cribb, 2002; Pridgeon et al., 2003). There are
about 15 species distributed in China (Lang, 1999; Ormerod, 2003; Jin et al., 2007b), most of
which are restricted in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Gastrochilus are small to medium-size epiphytes consisting about 46 species restricted to
East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia with its centre in southern China and northeast

India (Tsi, 1996). This is a distinct genus characterized by its immobile lip firmly adnate to
the column, saccate hypochile, short and bifid rostellum, and porate pollinia (Tsi, 1996;
Pearce & Cribb, 2002). It is the largest genus of Aeridinae in China with 28 species (Tsi,
1999).

Cheirostylis calcarata is distinguished from its relatives by its vertical rhizome, spurred
lip and stylidia much longer than rostellum arms. This species is found in two sites, about a
distance of 200 km from each other, where it is sympatric with C. thailandica Seidenf. and C.
yunnanensis Rolfe. These three species flower at the same time, and all have moniliform and
fleshy rhizome, white and scentless flowers with two prominent green spots at the base of
epichile (Fig. 2), though there is great difference between them. Until recently almost nothing
has been known about the pollination biology of Cheirostylis (see van del Cingel, 2001;
Pridgeon et al., 2003), it will be of great interest to know the differentiation of pollination
systems of these three species due to their similarities in many aspects of flowers, especially
the color (Fig. 2: A, C, D).
Pridgeon et al. (2003) stated that Cheirostylis is spurless, but we observed C. calcarata
has a distinct spur 2 mm long, a character greatly different from that in all other species of
Cheirostylis. However, many other diagnostic characters of Cheirostylis show that this species
belongs to Cheirostylis.

Gastrochilus alatus was first collected in Fugong County in 2005, but it couldn’t be
identified as any known species of Gastrochilus. In April 2006, we collected it again in
Gongshan County, about 150 km from Fugong. Specimen comparison and field observation
indicated that it is a new species, somewhat related to Gastrochilus distichus (Lindl.) Kuntze
in having pendulous stem and glabrous epichile. However, it is very easy to distinguish it
from G. distichus. The latter has greenish flowers and semicircular epichile 5 mm wide with
two conical calli centrally (Tsi, 1999; Pearce & Cribb, 2002), while G. alatus has yellow
flowers, broad elliptic and membranous epichile 8 mm wide with ridge centrally.

Dorsal sepal elliptic, concave, 5 mm long, 3 mm wide; lateral sepals ovate, oblique, 6 mm
long, 4 mm wide; petals elliptic, 6 mm long, 3 mm wide. Lip 8.5 mm long; hypochile saccate,
slightly compressed, 5 mm long; epichile semicircular, margins white and dentate, 3.5 mm
long, 3.5 mm wide, with a thickened callus centrally. Column 3 mm long, robust. Pollinia 2;

Gastrochilus malipoensis is sympatric with G. bellinus (Rchb. f.) Kuntze and G.
calceolaris (Buch.-Ham ex J. E. Smith) D. Don and similar to them in having nearly erect
stems, a dentate epichile with cavity at its base and callus centrally. Gastrochilus calceolaris
is characterized by its corymbose inflorescence, and triangular and hairy epichile
(Seidenfaden, 1992; Tsi, 1999); G. bellinus is characterized by its larger size, corymbose
inflorescence, much larger flowers, and whitish and triangular epichile (Seidenfaden, 1992;
Tsi, 1999). Gastrochilus malipoensis is easy to distinguish by having racemose inflorescence,
smaller flowers, and semicircular and glabrous epichile.
These three species are sympatric and flowering nearly at the same period, and whether
there are hybrids between them needs further investigation.

Epiphytic on tree. Stem about 30–40 cm tall, 2–3 mm in diam., internodes about 2–3 cm
long. Leaves 8–10, terete, not second, 20–30 cm long, 2 mm in diam. Inflorescences lateral
and close to the stem, very short, about 1 cm long, 2- or 3-flowered. Bracts 3–5, 2–3 mm
long. Ovary with pedicel 12 mm long, green. Flowers fully open; sepals green with purple
dots, middle sepals 1.5 cm long, 0.5 cm wide, concave into boat-shaped; lateral sepals 1.2 cm
long, boat-shaped with a dorsal keel, dorsal keel round or square cut off or prolong into a
small harp dent at apex. Petals pale purple, linear, 2.5 cm long, 4 mm wide. Lip dark purple,
1.2 cm long, 0.8 cm wide, without callus; lateral lobes indistinct, erect, ovate, about 1.5 mm
wide at base; hypochile not concave, 3 mm long; epichile cordate, 9 mm long, slightly
emarginated, more or less rugose, not uniformly glossy. Column stout, about 3 mm long.
Anther cap white. Pollinia 2, porate.
China. Yunnan (云南): Lushui (泸水), east slope of Gaoligongshan Mts., epiphytic on
the trunk of tree, alt. 2500 m, 2005-04-25, X. H. Jin (金效华) 6944 (PE).
This is a distinct species, and it is easy to be distinguished from other species of Luisia
Gaud. from China by its short inflorescences, larger flowers, lateral sepals as long as lip,
petals less than 5 mm wide, lip dark purple, lateral lobes indistinct, and the epichile cordate.
Seidenfaden (1971) stated that Luisia macrotis from Thailand and Laos were different
from those from India in many characters, such as lateral sepals slightly shorter than lip and
epichile bifid at apex. Our observation indicated that Luisia macrotis from Lushui, Yunnan,
are very similar to those from Laos and Thailand. However, we have to point out that the
lateral sepals are as long as the lip in plants from Yunnan, and this may be also true in plants
from Laos and Thailand.
Distribution: India, Laos, Thailand, China.

Dorsal sepal ovate, acute, 1mm long, 0.8 mm wide. Lateral sepals similar to dorsal sepal, 1
mm long, 0.8 mm wide. Petals linear, 0.8 mm long, 0.2 mm wide. Lip oblong, three-lobed,
1.1 mm long, 0.8 mm wide. Lateral lobes auricled, 0.2 mm long, 0.15 mm wide. Middle lobe
0.8 mm long, 0.7 mm wide, bilobed; lobelets irregularly rounded-serrate.

alt. 2400 m, 2005-05-28, X. H. Jin (金效华) 7029 (PE).
This species is close to Oberonia myosurus Lindl., from which it differs by its greenish
flowers, and the midlobe of lip irregularly rounded-serrate on margins and emarginated at
apex.
Distribution: Vietnam, China.
