    Abstract

    A new orchid species of Taiwan, Neottia ruisuiensis T.P. Lin., is described and illustrated. A brief taxonomical review of all other species, and a dichotomous key for Neottia in Taiwan is presented. Also, an appraisal on the Neottia phylogeny, possible species hybridization and intraspecific variations are discussed.
