Two New Records of Orchids Plants in Guangdong Province

Based on field observation, literature review and specimen comparison, this paper reports two new records of wild orchids in Guangdong Province, namely Bulbophyllum yunxiaoense M.H.Li, J.F.Liu & S.P.Chen and Cyrtosia septentrionalis (Rchb.f.) Garay, with the former discovered in Conghua District, Guangzhou City, epiphytic on the trunks of large trees, and the latter in Chebaling National Nature Reserve, Shixing County, Shaoguan City, growing under the shady-slope bamboo forest near the mountain top. Detailed morphological descriptions and color plates for the two species were also provided. The voucher specimens are deposited in the herbaria of South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chebaling National Nature Reserve. These new records further enrich the diversity of Orchidaceae in Guangdong Province, and are of certain significance for future studies on the geographical distribution, population origin and dispersion of Orchids.
