Abstract
A new orchid species, Neottia trigona T.P. Lin & Y.I. Lee, is described from Yushan in central Taiwan. This species resembles Neottia nankomontana, but can be readily distinguished by its shorter peduncle, stouter stem and larger floral dimensions, a broad triangular lip, and the ciliolate margin of the labellum. An illustration of the new species is provided, together with a dichotomous key to the species of Neottia in Taiwan.
