Abstract

This paper presents a re-evaluation of the taxonomic relationships of Lecanorchis flavicans and L. flavicans var. acutiloba. Based on the comparative study of morphology and type materials, L. flavicans is lectotypified and reduced to a synonym of L. triloba, while L. flavicans var. acutiloba is treated as a synonym of L. vietnamica.
