PARIZACA, Alexander Damián  and  TORRES MONTENEGRO, Luis A.. The genus palmorchis (orchidaceae: neottiae) in Peru: a taxonomic synopsis including four new species and a new record. Lankesteriana [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.3, pp.193-206. ISSN 1409-3871.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/lank.v18i3.35123.

A taxonomic synopsis of Peruvian Palmorchis with six accepted species is provided including four new species (P. blancae, P. liberolabellata, P. loretana and P. yavarensis) and a new record previously reported only for Ecuador (P. imuyaensis). This overview is the result of a review of local herbaria, taxonomic literature, and a field study of the genus. An artificial key for all Peruvian Palmorchis species is presented, as well as photographs and a map of known localities in Peru.

Keywords : Amazonian lowlands; Neottieae; Orchidaceae; Palmorchis; Perú.
