Phalaenopsis
natmataungensis
|
I am very proud to present here for the first time on the
Internet a new Phalaenopsis.species. This species was
described for the first time in March 2010 by Mr. Tomohisa
Yukawa,
Mr. Nobuyyuki Tanaka and Mr. Jin Murata in the review Acta
Phytotaxonomica et Geobotanica as Doritis
natmataungensis.
I would like to warmly thank Mr. Tomohisa Yukawa who procured me two
beautiful pictures from which are the pictures you can see below.
I have included in the pictures the species name given by Mr
Tomohisa Yukawa, but have displayed them in this page as Phalaenopsis
because big changes are underway within the RHS and Doritis
should be soon again integrated into the genus Phalaenopsis
.
This new fragrant species was discovered in the Natma Taung National
Park on Mount Victoria, Myanmar. The species name comes from the type
locality where it was discovered and yet it has not been discovered
elsewhere.
