Popis: | A new species, Malaxis nilgiriensis, is described and illustrated based on the material collected from the Nilgiris of Western Ghats, southern India. It superficially resembles Malaxis versicolor but differs by the presence of a pseudobulb and stolon, a short inflorescence, and a lip slightly bilobed with four retuse teeth. The taxonomic phenology of the new species as well as its etymology, conservation status, and diagnostic features are discussed. |
