Abstract

ARCEBAL K. NAIVE, Mark  and  CLIFTON MARTYR, John. Trichoglottis corazoniae (Orchidaceae: Vandeae: aeridinae), a new species from the Philippines. Lankesteriana [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.81-84. ISSN 1409-3871.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/lank.v18i2.33322.

A new species of Trichoglottis, T. corazoniae, apparently endemic to Negros island, is here described and illustrated. It is closely similar to T. tamesisii but distinct by having forward-pointing stelidia with the upper surface being pubescent, larger flowers and a longer inflorescence. Information on the distribution, ecology and phenology are provided.

Keywords : Aeridinae; endemic; Negros Occidental; new species; Orchidaceae; Philippines.
