摘要

Two new species of Amitostigma (Orchidaceae) are described and illustrated based on morphological characters and molecular systematics. Amitostigma zhipingianum is similar to A. nanum, but is distinguished from it by its linear leaf at the middle of the stem, lip elliptic, mid-lobe bilobed, the entrance of the spur hairy. Amitostigma motuoense is morphologically similar to A. nanum and A. monanthum, but differs from them by its linear leaf, elliptic lip, mid-lobe of lip bilobed at apex, and shape of spur. A new generic delimitation of the Amitostigma alliance is proposed.
