A Remarkable New Species of Liparis (Orchidaceae) from China and Its Phylogenetic Implications
Malaxideae (Orchidaceae) in Madagascar, the Mascarenes, Seychelles and Comoro Islands
The tribe Malaxideae (Orchidaceae, subfamily Epidendroideae) (sensu Pridgeon et al. 2005: 453) in Madagascar and adjacent archipelagos is revised. In this region it comprises the four genera: Liparis, Malaxis, Oberonia and Stichorkis. All of the species are described and their typification, history, identification, distribution and habitat are discussed. Conservation assessments and distribution maps are included. A checklist of the genera and species and a key to their identification are provided. Six new species: Liparis bemarahensis, L. bosseri, L. chantaliae, L. laurentii, L. magnifica and L. superclareae are described
