Aphyllorchisperiactinantha (Orchidaceae, Neottieae), a new mycoheterotrophic species from peninsular Thailand.

ABSTRACT: A new orchid species from southern Thailand, Aphyllorchisperiactinantha, is described and illustrated. The novelty is characterized by the subactinomophic flowers, the concave labellum, not divided into hypochile and epichile, the reduced staminodes, the shallowly bilobed stigma and the semicircular rostellum. A key to the species of Aphyllorchis in Thailand is updated.
