Mr. Tan Yunhong co-authored with researchers from Chinese Academy of Tropic Agricultural Sciences published a new species of orchids. They desribed and illustrated Panisea moi (Orchidaceae: Epidedroideae: Coelogyninae) from Mount Wuzhi and Mount Jianfengling of Hainan Island .

 The most significant differences from the closest species, P. vinhii, are that P.moi has subentire labellum, two longitudinal labellum keels that extend from middle of the hypochile to 2/3 of the length
of the epichile and thickened at the ends; the rachis is also straight.

For more information, please read Panisea moi, a new species (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae) from Hainan, China.

The following are pictures of the new species.
