Taxonomic Notes On Pogonieae (orchidaceae): Cleistesiopsis, A New Genus Segregated From Cleistes, And Description Of Two New South American Species, Cleistes Batistana And C. Elongata

A new genus, Cleistesiopsis, was segregated from Cleistes based on morphological and molecular characteristics, and two new species of Cleistes: C. batistana and C. elongata, both occurring in the Brazilian Central Plateau (Central-Western Brazil), are described and illustrated. Furthermore, a key to genera currently recognised within Pogonieae is presented. © 2008 The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens.633441448Ames, O., (1922) Orchidaceae, Illustrations and Studies of the Family Orchidaceae Issuing from the Ames Botanical Laboratory North Easton, 7, p. 21. , Massachussetts, Boston, New York The Merrymount Press, BostonBrown, P.M., (1995) N.
