Description
Summary:Herbarium and literature studies of Chinese orchids reveals one new hybrid, three new species and the requirement for two new combinations. The new taxa are Coelogyne ruidianensis, Habenaria wangii, Hemipilia mixta and Monomeria fengiana. The new combinations are Peristylus intrudens and Pinalia salwinensis. The identities of Peristylus tentaculatus and P. tipulifer are clarified. The obscure Ponerorchis exilis is lectotypified and illustrated. Two dubious records, Habenaria hystrix and Oberonia recurva, are found not to occur in China.
