85CC1F3B24AD584F8E5417A58769C5AC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. A. zhongshanensis is similar to A. zhejiangensis, but can be distinguished by the hastate or scalpel-shaped lobes of epichile (vs. semiovoid), forward curved and pinnately divided cristate lobes at both sides of the mesochile (vs. backward curved, the same orientation as the spur), unbowed conical spur (vs. bowed) and inverted triangle column wings (vs. squarish) (Fig. 6). A. zhongshanensis is also similar to A. malipoensis, but can be distinguished by the hastate or scalpel-shaped lobes of epichile (vs. obovate lobes with acuminate apex and crenulate margins), pinnately divided cristate lobes at both sides of the mesochile (vs. obliquely subquadrate and serrate lobes) and inverted triangle column wings (vs. elliptic) (Chen and Shui 2010).	en	Wu, Yan-Bin, Han, Yu, He, Xu-Hui, Chen, Hui-Ling, Wu, Jin-Zhong, Ye, Qi, Zheng, Cheng-Jian (2023): Anoectochilus zhongshanensis (Orchidaceae), a new species from Guangxi, China.
