Abstract

We examined morphological characteristics, elevation, and phenology to revise Tricyrtis in Taiwan. As a result, we confirmed five species and one variety. Tricyrtis lingyunyanensis is a new species found only in the north on Wunfong Mountain, Chiayi Country, Taiwan, at an elevation of approximately 1100 m. This study provides a detailed assessment of the morphology of each species by offering descriptions and comparative photographs.
