Morphological and genomic evidence for a new species of Corallorhiza (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae) from SW China

Corallorhiza sinensis, a new species of mycoheterotrophic orchid from western Sichuan, China, is described and illustrated based on molecular and morphological evidence. It is morphologically similar to Corallorhiza trifida, but can be distinguished by bigger flowers, both sepals and petals with 3 v...
