AI Article Synopsis
- - A new mycoheterotrophic orchid species has been discovered in Maolan National Nature Reserve, Guizhou Province, China, characterized by unique features such as a finely pubescent rachis with fewer flowers and a distinctive fishtail-shaped lip.
- - The new orchid is closely related to other species but can be differentiated by its specific morphological traits, including a finely pubescent pedicel and a bilobed lip that diverges at a 45-degree angle.
- - Molecular phylogenetic analysis using ITS and chloroplast genome data strongly supports the classification of this orchid as a new species, and its chloroplast genome has been documented, along with a key for identifying other mycoheterotrophic species in
Article Abstract
, a new mycoheterotrophic orchid, found in Maolan National Nature Reserve in Guizhou Province, China, is described and illustrated here. The new species is close to , and but differs in having a finely pubescent rachis with fewer flowers, a finely pubescent pedicel, and a fishtail-shaped lip that is deeply bilobed to the middle of the lip, with the lobes diverging at an acute angle (45°) to each other and mesochile with many papillae. Additionally, is well supported as a new species by molecular phylogenetic results based on ITS and chloroplast genome. The chloroplast genome of the novelty, which contains an LSC region of 33,819 bp, SSC region of 5,312 bp and IRs of 46,762 bp was assembled and annotated. A key to mycoheterotrophic species in China is also provided.
