Abstract

Holopogon pekinensis, a new heteromycotrophic orchid from Beijing City, China, is described and illustrated. This new species is morphologically similar to an endangered species endemic to Far East Russia, Holopogon ussuriensis Komarov & Nevski, but differs in having green flowers (vs white) and light green pubescence (vs red). Its conservation status and an identification key to Holopogon are provided.
