Liparis nana Rolfe 1913 SUBGENUS Sturmia SECTION Liparis
Drawing by © Seidenfaden and The Swiss Orchid Foundation at the Jany Renz Herbaria Website
Common Name The Tiny Liparis
Flower Size .6" [1.5 cm]
Found in Vietnam as a mini-miniature sized terrestrial.
CAUTION!!!Seidenfaden states that this species may be conspecific with L pygmaea as he compared it to the type of L meniscophora and found them conspecific. He checked the type of L pygmaea but found it too damaged to be sure. If that is true then this species correct name would be L pygmaea. Kew has L meniscophora as a synonym of L pygmaea, I have included Liparis meniscophora here.
Synonyms Liparis meniscophora Gagnep. 1932;
