DIMORPHORCHIS View in CoL

Dimorphorchis Rolfe (1919b: 149) View in CoL . Type species: Dimorphorchis lowii (Lindl.) Rolfe. View in CoL Lowianthus Beccari (1902: 531) View in CoL . Type species: Lowianthus borneensis Becc. , nom. illeg.

The following three taxa were previously included in Arachnis , but they are much more closely related to Dimorphorchis View in CoL . Given their similar flowers and, albeit weekly supported, sister group relationship to D. rossii Fowlie View in CoL and D. beccarii View in CoL in our analysis, we consider it preferable to include them in Dimorphorchis View in CoL rather than to create one or even two new small genera to accommodate them. A proposal to conserve Dimorphorchis View in CoL ( Fig. 1B View FIGURE 1 ) against Lowianthus is in preparation (P.J. Cribb, pers. comm.).
