Abstract

A new record species, Diploprora truncata Rolfe ex Downie, was found in Menglian County, Puer city, Yunnan Province, China, which was originally only found in Thailand and Myanmar. The morphology of D. truncata is similar to that of D. championii (Lindl.) Hook. f. For example, the drooping stem, concave hypochile and the bifurcated tip of the lip. But they differ by the leaves of the former species are short and wide, and the tip of the lip flap is not obvious, while the leaves of the latter species are slender with a bicaudate apex. This paper provides color pictures, species description, phenology and habitat information of D. truncata. The specimens are stored in the Herbarium of Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences (HITBC).
