abruptly at middle, cuneate-obovate, 10–12 × 7–10 mm,
base contracted and without a callus, margin entire to indistinctly
serrulate, apex truncate-rounded, minutely apiculate.

This species may be conspecific with Liparis makinoana Schlechter,
from Japan, given that the descriptions of the two coincide. In
Japan, the name L. makinoana has been misapplied to different taxa
(e.g., by Tsutsumi & Yukawa, Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Tokyo, B, 34:
89–94. 2008).

Ormerod.
Herbs, terrestrial, rarely epiphytic. Pseudobulbs clustered,
ovoid to globose, 5–12 × 3–8 mm, enclosed by 2 or 3 membranous

articulate; blade ovate or ovate-oblong to subelliptic, (2–)5–
10(–16) × (1–)2–4(–7) cm, base contracted into petiole, margin
entire, occasionally wavy, apex acute to obtuse. Inflorescence
10–25 cm; peduncle 3.5–15 cm, winged; rachis 2–17 cm, laxly
to subdensely few to many flowered; floral bracts lanceolate, 1–
5.5 mm, apex acute. Flowers greenish, often tinted pink to purple
or light purple; pedicel and ovary 5–10 mm. Dorsal sepal
ligulate-lanceolate, 5–9 × 1.8–2 mm, 3-veined, apex subacute;
lateral sepals parallel below lip, obliquely oblong-lanceolate,
4.5–8.5 × 1.5–2 mm, 3-veined, apex subacute. Petals deflexed,
parallel to and below lateral sepals, linear, 5–7 × ca. 0.5 mm; lip
cuneate to oblong-obovate, 5–6 × 3–3.5 mm, base contracted,
without a callus, margin entire to irregularly suberose, apex
broadly apiculate, truncate to emarginate. Column weakly
curved, 2.5–3.5 mm, base dilated, apex with small subquadrate
wings. Fl. Aug–Oct.

Tsutsumi and Yukawa (Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Tokyo, B, 34:
89–94. 2008) argue that the name Liparis japonica (Miquel) Maximowicz
is actually a synonym of Malaxis monophyllos. The next available
name for the “L. japonica” of authors is L. campylostalix. We have
not followed Lang and Tsi (in Wu, Fl. Xizang. 5: 842–844. 1987) in
separating “L. japonica” (larger plants, entire lip) from L. campylostalix
(small plants, entire lip) given that intermediates exist.
