A new orchid species, Bulbophyllum wolongense, from the Wolong National Nature Reserve (Sichuan, China), is proposed and described. Using the nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) and complete plastome sequences, we examined the phylogenetic position of this species and explored the plastome variation among the species of genus Bulbophyllum. The plastome o...

These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Luisia, a genus of the subtribe Aeridinae of Orchidaceae, comprises ca. 40 species. Members of Luisia exhibit unique morphological characteristics and represent a valuable ornamental orchid genus. However, due to the scarcity of distinct morphological characters, species identification withi...
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Crepidomanes latealatum (Bosch) Copel. was determined in the present study. The genome is 145,943 base pairs (bp) in length and comprised two inverted repeats (32,990 bp) between a large single copy (92,170 bp) and a small single copy (20,783 bp). It contains 88 coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, 34 tRNA genes,...
Angraecum, commonly known as Darwin’s orchid, is the largest genus of Angraecinae (Orchidaceae). This genus exhibits a high morphological diversity, making it as a good candidate for macroevolutionary studies. In this study, four complete plastomes of Angraecum were firstly reported and the potential variability hotspots were explored. The plastome...
Aerides Lour. (Orchidaceae, Aeridinae) is a group of epiphytic orchids with high ornamental value, mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical forests, that comprises approximately 20 species. The species are of great value in floriculture and garden designing because of their beautiful flower shapes and colors. Although the morphological bounda...
Background
Chiloschista (Orchidaceae, Aeridinae) is an epiphytic leafless orchid that is mainly distributed in tropical or subtropical forest canopies. This rare and threatened orchid lacks molecular resources for phylogenetic and barcoding analysis. Therefore, we sequenced and assembled seven complete plastomes of Chiloschista to analyse the plast...

Bulbophyllum Petit-Thouars (1822: t. 3), the largest genus in Orchidaceae with nearly 2200 species (Gravendeel et al. 2014, Chase et al. 2015, is widely distributed in tropical Africa, Asia and South America (Gravendeel et al. 2014). In China, the genus is represented by around 150 species (Chen & Vermeulen 2009), and many new species have been described in recent years (Li et al. 2017, Li et al. 2023, Lin et al. 2018, Ma et al. 2018, Zhai et al. 2017, Zhou et al. 2021, Zhou et al. 2022, Jiang et al. 2023. ...
A new species of Orchidaceae, Bulbophyllum deergongense, is described from Motuo (Tibet, China) based on morphological traits and molecular phylogenetic analysis. This new species is similar to B. reptans but differs in its elongate cylindrical pseudobulbs with prominent ridges, yellowish-green flower without markings, and oblong-ovoid petal with a round apical purple-brown spot. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on two plastid makers (matK and psbA-trnH) and two nuclear DNA (ITS and Xdh) support B. deergongense as a new species of B. section Reptantia, in which it is sister to B. reptans.
