Abstract

Platanthera whangshanensis, a forgotten species of the Chinese flora, is described and illustrated. Originally it was described as a member of genus Perularia, and a corresponding new combination is here proposed. In the «Flora of China» this taxon was treated under the name Platanthera tipuloides, which is in turn a species that is absent from the flora of subtropical China. The localities of true Platanthera tipuloides may be found only in the north-west of the country. A doubtful record of Platanthera tipuloides from Liaoning Province is discussed.

中文摘要

本文將中國植物誌中的黃山舌唇蘭重新描述與提供手繪圖。這個物種最早被歸類於Perularia屬中，本文因此提出一個新組合名。在中國植物誌中，此物種被處理為筒距舌唇蘭，但筒距舌唇蘭在中國的亞熱帶區是不存在的，真正的筒距舌唇蘭可能只在中國西北才能發現。因此在中國遼寧省發現的筒距舌唇蘭很可能是誤認，本文也對此做討論。
