Although Gastrochilus Don (1825:32) is a small genus, its generic and interspecific relationships are still not well understood (Seidenfaden1988, Tsi 1996, Pridgeon et al . 2014, Zou et al . 2015). It comprises 64 species collectively distributed from China, India and Sri Lanka through eastern Asia and southern Japan to Indonesia and the Philippines (Kumar et al . 2014, Govaerts et al . 2015, Raskoti 2016). China is the centre of species diversity for the genus, which contains 39 species, 19 of which are believed to be endemic (Tsi 1999, Chen et al . 2009, Yi et al . 2012, Kumar et al . 2014). During our field investigation in southeastern Yunnan, two unusual species of this genus were discovered. After undertaking a comprehensive literature and herbarium review, these two species were identified as G. sect. Gastrochilus Don (1825: 32), which is characterized by stout stem with large cauline leaves. One is a new record for China, and the other is the new species.
