Abstract

41 new combinations, two synonyms and three lectotypifications from the genus Stichorkis are proposed. This work aimed to solve taxonomic ambiguity and nomenclatural crisis for Malesian Stichorkis.

Key Words: Malaxideae; new combinations; Orchidaceae; Philippines; plant Taxonomy; tropical botany.

Introduction

The orchid genus Stichorkis Thouars (nom. & typ. cons.) is represented by approximately 60 species distributed from the Comoro Islands, Mauritius, Reunion to Sri Lanka, India, through Malesia to Fiji with the centre of diversity in New Guinea where 23 species are recorded (^{Naive et al. 2019}). In the process of examining all types of orchids in Malesia, in preparation for previous and ongoing revision, it became clear that more names than those published by ^{Cootes (2011)} need combination in Philippine Stichorkis. In this paper, we transfer five taxa from Cestichis Thouars ex Pfitzer and one from Liparis Rich., two of which had been overlooked. The other four had an incorrect basionym when previously transferred, therefore making the names either invalid or illegitimate (Article 41.6; ^{Turland et al. 2018}). Thus, the opportunity to emend the nomenclature is taken here. We also use the occasion to lectotypify these names, which is why type data are cited here. Furthermore, nine new combinations from West Malesia and 26 new combinations from East Malesia are proposed.

New combinations and a new synonym from the Philippines

Stichorkis elmeri (Ames) Naive & Ormerod, comb. nov.

Basionym: Cestichis elmeri^{Ames, Orchidaceae 1: 10. 1905}.

Synonym: Liparis elmeri (Ames) Schltr., Repert. Sp. Nov. Regni Veg., Beih. 1: 210. 1911.

Disticholiparis elmeri (Ames) Marg. & Szlach., Orchidee (Hamburg) 55, 2: 178. 2004.

TYPE: PHILIPPINES. Luzon: Mt. Santo Tomas, Prov. Benguet, “forming colonies on trees”, 1 July 1904, A.D.E. Elmer 6553 (holotype: AMES00106597!; isotypes: K, US, NY). FIG. 1B.

DISTRIBUTION: This Philippine endemic species is only recorded and observed in the provinces of Benguet and Quezon of Luzon island (^{Pelser et al. 2011}).

Among the Malaxidinae herbarium specimens, especially at AMES, we found plants preliminarily called Cestichis elmeri. The plants are without any doubt is representative of the genus Stichorkis and is therefore recognized here as a new combination. According to ^{Ames (1905)}, this species is closely similar to S. merrillii (Ames) Naive & Ormerod by having an orbicular-apiculate labellum, non-emarginate anther, and laxer inflorescence. This taxon is not to be confused with Liparis elmeri Ames, described in 1912 and renamed L. dumaguetensis Ames. The latter is a terrestrial species with convolute leaves, unrelated to the genus Stichorkis.

Stichorkis gibbosa (Finet) J.J.Wood, Orchids Mount Kinabalu 2: 531. 2011.

Basionym: Liparis gibbosa Finet, Bull. Soc. Bot. France 342. 1908. Disticholiparis gibbosa (Finet) Marg. & Szlach., Orchidee (Hamburg) 55: 178, 2004.

TYPE: INDONESIA. Java, without locality, Blume s.n. (holotype: P-image!)

Liparis quadribullata Schltr., Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 10: 29. 1911. TYPE: INDONESIA. Sulawesi, Toli-Toli District, upper Lampasioe River, 150 m, January 1910, Schlechter 20668 (holotype: B, destroyed; isotypes: AMES, K), syn. nov.

DISTRIBUTION: Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Indonesia, New Guinea, Pacific Islands, Philippines.

Stichorkis gracilis (Ames) Naive & Ormerod, comb. nov.

Basionym: Cestichis gracilis Ames, Orchidaceae 2: 136. 1908.

Synonyms: Liparis amesiana Schltr., Repert. Sp. Nov. Regni Veg., Beih. 1: 210. 1911. Disticholiparis gracilis (Ames) Marg. & Szlach., Orchidee (Hamburg) 55, 2: 178. 2004. Stichorkis amesiana (Schltr.) ^{Cootes, Philipp. Nat. Orch. Sp.: 245. 2011}, nom. illeg.

TYPE: PHILIPPINES. Luzon, Bataan Prov., Mt. Mariveles, 31 January 1904, E.B. Copeland 274 (lectotype, here designated: AMES8217!; isolectotypes: K, US); Rizal Prov., Mt. San Isidro, 10 January 1907, M. Ramos 1782 (syntype: AMES-image!; isosyntype: K). FIG. 1C.

DISTRIBUTION: Endemic to the Philippines. Recorded in the provinces of Bataan, Rizal, Mindoro, Bukidnon, and Davao.

Because of the earlier Liparis gracilis J.D. Hook. of 1890 (= L. elegans Lindl.) and L. gracilis Rolfe of 1891 (= L. gracilenta Dandy), Schlechter renamed Cestichis gracilis Ames as Liparis amesiana when he moved the plant to Liparis. Since the name Cestichis gracilis is the oldest and the epithet is still available, it is the one that must be used when treating the plant in Stichorkis. We have chosen Copeland 274 as lectotype since this has a copy of the original illustration appended to it by Ames.

Stichorkis merrillii (Ames) Naive & Ormerod, comb. nov.

Basionym: Cestichis merrillii^{Ames, Orchidaceae 1: 11. 1905}.

Synonyms: Liparis merrillii (Ames) Schltr., Repert. Sp. Nov. Regni Veg., Beih. 1: 210. 1911. Disticholiparis merrillii (Ames) Marg. & Szlach., Orchidee (Hamburg) 55, 2: 178. 2004.

TYPE: PHILIPPINES, Luzon, Bataan Prov., Mt. Mariveles, 1200 m, 1 January 1905, E.D. Merrill 3736 (holotype: AMES00106604!; isotype: US 00093468). FIG, 1D.

DISTRIBUTION: Endemic to the Philippines. Recorded in the provinces of Bataan, Ifugao, Mountain Province, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Quezon, Rizal, Mindoro, Leyte, Misamis, Zamboanga.

Though ^{Ames (1905)} listed two collections when he published this species, he implied in his notes that Merrill 3736 was the type, and that H.N. Whitford 317 (AMES) was a second collection, i.e. a paratype. Jim ^{Cootes transferred this taxon to Stichorkis in 2011}, but unfortunately cited the incorrect basionym (Liparis merrillii), thus making the proposal invalid.

Stichorkis nutans (Ames) Naive & Ormerod, comb. nov.

Basionym: Cestichis nutans Ames, Philipp. J. Sci., C 4: 597. 1909.

Synonym: Liparis nutans (Ames) Ames, Orchidaceae 5: 81. 1915.

TYPES: PHILIPPINES. Mindanao, Lake Lanao, Camp Keithley, May 1907, M.S. Clemens s.n. (lectotype, here designated: AMES00106605!); Surigao Prov., 6 April 1906, P.H. Bolster 289 (syntype: AMES-image!); Palawan, Mt. Victoria, March 1906, F.W. Foxworthy s.n. (= BS 638) (syntype: AMES-image!). FIG. 1E.

DISTRIBUTION: Endemic to the Philippines. Recorded in the provinces of Palawan, Agusan, Bukidnon, Lanao, Misamis Oriental, Surigao.

Like S. merrillii above this taxon had been transferred to Stichorkis but by incorrectly citing the later name in Liparis, making the proposal invalid. This species closely resembles S. davidlohmanii (Fig. 1A), however, it differs significantly in having a pyriform pseudobulb (vs. obovoid pseudobulb) and cuneate, non-canaliculate, conduplicate labellum (vs. obovate, canaliculate, non-conduplicate labellum).

Stichorkis philippinensis (Ames) Naive & Ormerod, comb. nov.

Basionym: Cestichis philippinensis^{Ames, Orchidaceae 1: 7. 1905}.

Synonym: Liparis philippinensis (Ames) Schltr., Repert. Sp. Nov. Regni Veg., Beih. 1: 210. Disticholiparis philippinensis (Ames) Marg. & Szlach., Orchidee (Hamburg) 55, 2: 178. 2004.

TYPES: PHILIPPINES, Luzon, Bataan Prov., Mt. Mariveles, 25 May 1904, T.E. Borden 799 (lectotype, here designated: AMES5966!; isolectotype: US-image!); Mt. Mariveles, 8 August 1904, E.D. Merrill 3856 (syntype: AMES!; isosyntypes: K-image!, NY-image!); Mt. Mariveles, 9 August 1904, T.E. Borden 1597 (syntype: AMES-image!). FIG. 1F.

DISTRIBUTION: Endemic to the Philippines. Recorded in the provinces of Abra, Bataan, Benguet, Cagayan, Laguna, Mountain Province, Nueva Vizcaya, Pampanga, Rizal, Mindoro, Panay, Leyte, Negros, Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato.

Again, as in some of the above names, the incorrect basionym was cited when transferring this taxon to Stichorkis, rendering the combination invalid.

Stichorkis propinqua (Ames) Naive & Ormerod, comb. nov.

Basionym: Liparis propinqua Ames, Orchidaceae 7: 110. 1922

Synonym: Disticholiparis propinqua (Ames) Marg. & Szlach., Orchidee (Hamburg) 55, 2: 179. 2004.

TYPE: PHILIPPINES, Bancalan Island, sea level, 14 October 1916, C.M. Weber 011 (holotype: AMES00100960!; isotypes: K, NY, S, SING!, US).

DISTRIBUTION: Endemic to the Philippines. Recorded in the provinces of Bancalan Island, Davao, Laguna, Mindoro, Palawan, Quezon and Rizal.
