1. Introduction

During botanical surveys in Southwest China from 2017 to 2020, we collected a great number of orchid species. After comparing the morphological features of collected specimens with those of herbarium specimens (i.e., taxa similar to Cheirostylis Blume , Myrmechis Blume and Bulbophyllum Thouars) and consulting relevant literature (for Cheirostylis, see Hemsley, 1895; Rolfe, 1896, 1903; Seidenfaden, 1978; Jin et al., 2007a, b; Chen et al., 2009; Liu et al., 2016b; Wu et al., 2020; for Myrmechis, see Rolfe, 1903; Seidenfaden, 1978; Maity et al., 2007; for Bulbophyllum, see Summerhayes, 1928; Seidenfaden, 1969, 1979; Lin, 1975; Tsi, 1989; Chen et al., 2009; Raskoti and Ale, 2011; Vermeulen et al., 2015; Averyanov et al., 2015, 2018, 2019; Liu et al., 2017; Zhai et al., 2017; Li et al., 2019; Ya et al., 2019a; Ma et al., 2020), we confirmed that eight species are new to science and three species are new records for China. Here, these species are described and illustrated

2. Materials and methods

Living plants and herbarium vouchers were collected from Yunnan, Sichuan and Xizang in Southwest China. The morphological characters and measurements of the species described here were based on living materials in the field and greenhouse, as well as dried specimens. The delicate structure of the lip, column and pollinia were observed, measured and photographed under the dissecting stereomicroscope (Olympus SZX16 and MD-90). Voucher specimens have been deposited in the Herbarium of the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences (KUN), Chinese National Herbarium (PE) and Herbarium of the Yunnan Academy of Forestry and Grassland (YAF).

3. Results 3.1. Goodyerinae Klotzsch

Cheirostylis and Myrmechis are two small genera in Goodyerinae which comprise 34 genera (Pridgeon et al., 2003). The two genera are similar in having connate sepals and separate stigma lobes, but Cheirostylis differs from Myrmechis by having a lip with two or more lobed or seriate papillose calli, stigma lobes that are not free apically and a column with two extended stelids, and without wings (Pridgeon et al., 2003; Chen et al., 2009). Recent molecular phylogenetic studies showed that Cheirostylis is monophyletic, but the relationships with closely related genera remain unresolved (Chen et al., 2019). Previous studies have proposed including Myrmechis into a broadly circumscribed Odontochilus Blume as Myrmechis and Kuhlhasseltia J.J. Smith are nested within it (Yukawa, 2016; Chen et al., 2019); however the relationships of Goodyerinae have not been resolved completely and require broader sampling. Here we follow the traditional delimitation of Cheirostylis and Myrmechis (Pridgeon et al., 2003). Cheirostylis includes 55 species widespread from tropical and Southern Africa through India, Southeast Asia, to the West Pacific islands; eighteen species are recorded in China (Pridgeon et al., 2003; Chen et al., 2009; POWO, 2021). Myrmechis is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical Asia to the Kuril Islands; there are 12 accepted species and five of them are found in China (Pridgeon et al., 2003; Chen et al., 2009; POWO, 2021).

3.1.1. Cheirostylis chuxiongensis J.D. Ya, sp. nov. (小唇叉柱兰) (Fig. 1)

Diagnosis: Cheirostylis chuxiongensis is similar to C. thailandica Seidenf. in floral morphology, but differs from the latter by having 5–9 irregular and papillae-like calli on each side in the sac of the lip (vs. 2 comb-like calli), epichile with entire lobes (vs. lobes apical irregularly denticulate to wavy), petals narrowly obliquely obovate and an apex that is not recurved (vs. suboblong and apex recurved).

Type: CHINA. Yunnan: Kunming, voucher from cultivated plants at Kunming Institute of Botany, CAS, 15 Mar. 2020 (flowering), J.-D. Ya, L. Huang & R.-Z. Zhang 19HT3275 (holotype: KUN!), originally collected in Yunnan Province, Chuxiong Prefecture, Shuangbai County, 1060 m, a valley in coniferous forest.

Plants 7.0–17.0 cm tall. Rhizome moniliform, 3.0–4.0 cm long, with 3–5 nodes; internodes narrowing, 0.5–1.2 cm in diam.; roots in broad, raised bands along rhizome internodes.

Phenology: Flowers from March to April.

Etymology: The epithet "chuxiongensis" is derived from the type locality of the new species, Chuxiong, Yunnan, China.

Distribution and habitat: Cheirostylis chuxiongensis is only known from Shuangbai County, Central Yunnan. The population consists of ca. 200 scattered individuals in a valley in coniferous forest dominated by Pinus yunnanensis Franch. at elevations of 1000–1100 m.

3.1.2. Cheirostylis yei J.D. Ya, Z.D. Han & H. Jiang, sp. nov. (叶氏叉柱兰) (Fig. 2)

Diagnosis: Cheirostylis yei is similar to C. chinensis Rolfe, C. yunnanensis Rolfe and C. moniliformis (Griff.) Seidenf. in floral morphology. The new species can be distinguished from C. chinensis by having epichile lobes with irregular, undulate margins (vs. 4- or 5-dentate, teeth triangular and acute), a subquadrate callus without teeth (vs. calli comb-like with 5- or 6-toothed), and oval viscidium (vs. narrowly oblong). It can be distinguished from C. yunnanensis by having a long 3.8–7.2 cm stem (vs. usually less than 1 cm), smaller flowers with a 4.5 mm long lip (vs. 9–12 mm long), and a subquadrate callus without teeth in the saccate hypochile (vs. calli comb-like with 3- or 4-toothed). The new species can be distinguished from C. moniliformis by having pubescent ovary and sepals (vs. glabrous), a subquadrate callus in the saccate hypochile (vs. 2–4 papillae-like calli), and long elliptic stelidia (vs. falcate- or linear-lanceolate).

Type: CHINA. Yunnan: Kunming, voucher from cultivated plants at Kunming Institute of Botany, CAS, 15 Nov. 2019 (flowering), J.-D. Ya & Z.-D. Han 19HT3124 (holotype: KUN!), originally collected in Yunnan Province, Pu'er City, Simao District, Liushun Town, 1870 m, in forest on limestone.

Lithophytic herbs, 10.0–17.0 cm tall. Rhizome almost vertical, white to green, 3.0–4.0 cm long, with 3–5 nodes, torose to moniliform, internodes distinctly narrowing towards the nodes, 0.8–1.2 cm in diam.; roots hair-like, in rows along rhizome internodes.

Leaves congested, often withered at anthesis, ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 1.7–6.5 × 0.8–2.8 cm, glabrous, base cuneate, apex acute; petiole-like base and sheath 1.8–2.5 cm long. Inflorescence 8.0–12.0 cm long, hairy, with 2 or 3 sterile bracts; rachis short, ca. 1 cm long, 4–7-flowered; floral bracts ovate-lanceolate, 0.6–0.8 cm long, nearly as long as ovary, abaxially hairy, apex long acuminate. Flowers yellowish-green, lip lobes white; ovary and pedicel pubescent, ca. 4.0 mm long; sepals 3.0 mm long, basal about 1/2 connate and forming a tube, outer surface sparsely pubescent, free apical lobes triangular-ovate, ca. 1.2 mm long; petals appressed to dorsal sepal, obliquely oval, 2.8 × 1.5 mm; lip 4.5 mm long, 3-partite; hypochile saccate, ca. 1.5 mm long, each part with 1 callus, calli subquadrate, ca. 0.7 × 0.7 mm; mesochile ca. 1.0 mm long, narrow; epichile flabellate, ca. 3.0 mm long, deeply 2-lobed; lobes ca. 2.0 mm wide, margin irregularly undulate; column ca. 2.0 mm; rostellum arms elongate, ca. 1.0 mm long; stelidia erect, long elliptic, slightly shorter than rostellum arms; pollinarium ca. 1.5 mm long; anther ovoid, ca. 0.8 mm; viscidium oval, ca. 1.1 mm long. Fruit not seen.

Phenology: Flowering from October to November.

Etymology: The specific epithet "yei" is in honor of Mr. De-Ping Ye (1977–2020), who dedicated over twenty years to the botanical surveys and conservation of wild orchids in China. Sadly, he died in an accident; his death is a great loss to orchid research and conservation in China.

Distribution and habitat: Cheirostylis yei is currently known from south and southwest Yunnan. It is a predominantly lithophytic species that grows on rocks in karst regions at elevations of 1470–1900 m.

Additional specimen examined (paratypes): CHINA. Yunnan: Lincang Prefecture, Zhenkang County, Muchang Town, 1470 m, in forest on limestone, 17 Oct. 2020, H. Jiang 10118 (YAF).

Notes: Cheirostylis chinensis and C. yunnanensis share highly similar morphology, and both species display wide variation in lips in overlapping distributions in China, Myanmar and Vietnam. Further research is required to investigate the species delimitation in Cheirostylis. In this study, therefore, we tentatively adopt the traditional circumscription of Cheirostylis according to the treatments in Flora of China and Flora of Thailand (Chen et al., 2009; Pedersen et al., 2011).

3.1.3. Myrmechis lingulata J.D. Ya, Ting Zhang & C. Liu, sp. nov. (九寨沟全唇兰) (Figs. 3 and 4)

Etymology: The specific epithet "lingulata", meaning "the shape of a strap", refers to the simple and lanceolate to ligulate lip of this new species.

Distribution and habitat: M. lingulata is currently known only from the type locality of Wujiao Town. It grows on mossy places under Picea forests at an elevation of about 2500 m.

3.1.4. Myrmechis longii J.D. Ya, sp. nov. (美脉全唇兰) (Fig. 5)

Diagnosis: Myrmechis longii is similar to Myrmechis pumila (Hook. f.) Tang & F.T. Wang in floral morphology, but differs by having white-veined leaves (vs. green-veins), oblong-lanceolate epichile lobes 4.0–4.2 mm long (vs. oblong and diverging widely, 2–3 mm long), and viscidium attached to the middle of the caudicle (vs. viscidium attached to the base of the caudicle).

Type: CHINA. Yunnan: Wenshan Prefecture, Malipo County, 1500 m, in forest on limestone, 21 July 2020, J.-D. Ya, M.-F. Long, M.-J. Feng & M.-Q. Han 20CS19132 (holotype: KUN!; isotype: KUN!).

Phenology: It was observed in flowering in July.

Etymology: This species is named after Mr. Ming-Feng Long, who first brought it to the attention of botanists at the Kunming Institute of Botany.

Distribution and habitat: Myrmechis longii is currently known only from the type locality near Malipo Town. It grows in humus-rich soil in the limestone forest at an elevation of about 1500 m.

Notes on characters for species delimitation in Cheirostylis and Myrmechis. The species of Cheirostylis are largely differentiated by the characters of the calli contained within the saccate base of the hypochile. The epichile is usually spreading to 2-lobed (Pridgeon et al., 2003; Chen et al., 2009). Of the newly described species, C. yei is distinct for having entire and subquadrate calli. The character of calli in Cheirostylis chuxiongensis are distinct as well, there being 5–9 irregular and papillae-like calli scattered on each side; in addition, the entire or shallowly bilobed epichile with entire lobes is unusual within known Cheirostylis species. In Myrmechis, the epichile is usually transversely dilated to T-shaped or distinctly 2-lobed to Y-shaped (Chen et al., 2009). The character of the simple and linguiform lip in M. lingulata is unique among the continental Asian members of the genus. Myrmechis longii is distinct in having viscidium attached to the middle of the caudicle, differing from other members of Myrmechis, which have the viscidium attached to the base of the caudicle.

3.2. Dendrobiinae Lindl

With about 3650 species, the subtribe Dendrobiinae is regarded as the largest subtribe in the orchid family (Cameron et al., 1999; Pridgeon et al., 2014). Preliminary morphological and molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that this pantropical subtribe includes two genera: Bulbophyllum Thouars and Dendrobium Sw. (Chase et al., 2015). Other genera, such as Cadetia Gaudich., Flickingeria A.D. Hawkes and Epigeneium Gagnep., should be merged into Dendrobium in broad circumscription (Schuiteman, 2011), whereas Drymoda Lindl., Pedilochilus Schltr., Sunipia Lindl. and Trias Lindl. are embedded in Bulbophyllum and can no longer be recognized unless Bulbophyllum itself is split into several smaller genera (Pridgeon et al., 2014). Bulbophyllum is the largest genus of this subtribe, comprising about 2200 species distributed in tropical and subtropical Asia, the Pacific islands, tropical Africa, Madagascar, and the Neotropics, with most diversity in tropical Asia (Pridgeon et al., 2014; Vermeulen et al., 2014; Chase et al., 2015).

3.2.1. Bulbophyllum ximaense J.D. Ya & Ting Zhang, sp. nov. (昔马石豆兰) (Fig. 6)

Notes: This species was firstly named Bulbophyllum breviscapum H. Jiang & D.P. Ye in The Wild Orchid in Yunnan (Xu et al., 2010). However, according to Art. 40.1 of International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants (Shenzhen Code) (Turland et al., 2018), this name was not validly published because the authors failed to provide a diagnosis or description or designate the type, and it is not available for use because of a species previously named B. breviscapum (Rolfe) Ridl. (Ridley, 1907).

According to Genera Orchidacearum, Bulbophyllum retusum belongs to sect. Brachyantha Rchb. f., which is characterized by having a distinct creeping rhizome, 1-leaved pseudobulbs, inflorescences with two to many flowers, a subumbellate raceme, free dorsal sepals, lateral sepals usually 2–6 times as long as dorsal sepals and usually twisted inward near base, glabrous margins, with the upper margins approaching or meeting and connate, lip margins without auricles or lateral lobes. There are about 26 species in this section distributed from India to Japan; species are also found in the Philippines and New Guinea (Chen et al., 2009; Pridgeon et al., 2014).

4. Discussion

We evaluated the conservation status of these new species according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN 2017). Five species, Cheirostylis chuxiongensis, C. yei, Myrmechis lingulata, M. longii, Bulbophyllum ximaense and B. xizangense, are only known from type localities and adjacent areas. For each of these species, our field surveys identified only one or two populations with few individuals. The conservation status of these species is therefore considered to be Data Deficient (DD).B. retusum, which is widely distributed in Yunnan and Xizang, has no obvious threats; hence, the new species is tentatively considered to be Least Concern (LC). Although B. nematocaulon is only known from two populations of over 1000 individuals that grow on the trunks of trees near the border of China and Vietnam, the habitat is unlikely to be subject to significant human activities due to the restricted access to the border area; the new species is therefore assigned a preliminary status of Least Concern (LC). B. raskotii is known from two sites with more than 10, 000 individuals scattered in a protected evergreen broadleaved forest and mossy dwarf forest in the west of Yunnan. Its conservation status is suggested as Least Concern (LC) based upon the population size and healthy habitat. Two big populations of B. pulcherissimum (> 1000 individual plants) were found in central and southeast Yunnan. However, our field investigations indicate that this species is regularly collected by locals because of its great ornamental value; therefore, we suggest that the current conservation status of this new species is Near Threatened (NT).

These new taxa and records are mainly distributed in southeast Xizang, the Hengduan Mountains and southeast Yunnan, which are regarded as hotspots of orchid diversity as well as hotspots for China's endemic flora in general (Zhang et al., 2015; Huang et al., 2016). The majority of our knowledge of orchids from these regions is accumulated from floras (Chen et al., 2009; Xu et al., 2010; Jin et al., 2019), ongoing regional surveys (Jin et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2018) and descriptions of new species (Hu et al., 2013; Averyanov et al., 2015, 2019; Liu et al., 2016a; Zhai et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2017; Cai et al., 2019; Li et al., 2019; Ya et al., 2019a, b; Aung et al., 2020; Du et al., 2020; Yang et al., 2020). The geographic distributions of many species remain unknown, and the potential discovery of undescribed orchid species, especially in the shrinking primeval forests of the region, requires continued field work. The knowledge of the orchids of China and adjacent regions can be increased by investment in surveys and research at more localities using different approaches.
