The Genus Herminium Guett. (Orchidaceae) in China
中国角盘兰属植物的研究

Herminium is a genus of about 26 species, mainly distributed in the temperate and subtropical regions of Asia and Europe. Yunnan, Sichuan and Xizang in China are the pre- sent distribution centre as well as differentiation centre of the genus. In the present paper, taxa of Herminium hitherto recorded in China are taxonomically and phytogeographically discussed and revised, and, as a result, 18 species are recongnized, including two newly recorded spe- cies, H. angustilabre King et Pantl. and H. quinquelobum King et Pantl., and 12 species en- demic to China. A full list of synonyms is given, a key to the species is provided and the distribution areas of all taxa are mapped.
