Abstract
A new species of Cylindrolobus (Orchidaceae), C.
gaoligongensis J. D. Ya & H. Jiang from Gongshan county, northwestern
Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically
similar to C. arunachalensis (A. N. Rao) A. N. Rao, but can be
distinguished from it by having 5 veined lateral sepals, orange to pink
and triangular-ovate lip mid-lobe and apex mucronate, yellow to white
long hairs on the lip, 2 central calli and connected to a keel toward
mid-lobe in the disk, 3 rows of white long hairs in the base of the
disk. Additionally, a detailed
description and illustration of its close species, C.
arunachalensis , is also provided.
