The novelty morphologically resembles , and in having a glabrous and smooth epichile. but can be distinguished by the unique obovate shape of the leaves, smaller epichile, and flower color. The results of molecular phylogenetic analysis, based on nuclear ribosome internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) and four chloroplast DNA fragments (K, A-H, M-D, and L-F) of 55 species, support the inclusion of in G.sect.Microphylli, being most closely related to from Sichuan.
