039905342D5F7A6783A9FF2FFC7EF71D.taxon	materials_examined	Type: — China. XizangAutonomous Region: Motuo County, Buqun lake, 1454 m, 10 August 2023, 2023081011 (Holotype: HSNU 00079883! Spirit material). Note: Spirit flowers preserved in Kew Mix are treated as the holotype since they were collected in the field for anatomical investigations and the plant cultivated at the greenhouse of East China Normal University without retaining a complete specimen. We expect to add further complete specimen from the type material later on, once we can have multiple shoots. Diagnosies: — Morphological features of Anoectochilus × buqunhuensis shows intermediate morphological affinity between A. medogensis and A. griffithii. It is similar to A. griffithii with respect to the shape of epichile lobe, petals and saddle-like under half column-wings, however, the new hybrid differs in lateral speals obliquely ellipsoid with pointed and brown mesochile with 4 – 5 teeth on both sides. It is also similar to A. medogensis regarding the shape of sepals and upper half column-wings, however, the new hybrid differs in 2 - lobed, cuneate-triangulate epichile and conical spur. The morphological characteristics of A. × buqunhuensis are the combination of both A. griffithii and A. medogensis.	en	Li, Chen Xing, Liu, Yue, Shi, Bei Bo, Sun, Mei, Huang, Jing, Liu, Zhen, Tian, Huai Zhen (2024): A natural hybrid of Anoectochilus (Orchidaceae) from Xizang, China.
