Peristylus spiranthes
var. taipoensis S. Y. Hu & Barretto
This variety is found in the New Territories at elevations
of 100-800 metres. It shares the same habitat with Peristylus
spiranthes var. spiranthes. It is distinguished
by its white flowers with the lateral lobes of the lip broad
triangular. In this respect it resembles Peristylus goodyeroides
(D. Don) Lindl. which has a globose spur and a very different
column. In P. spiranthes var. spiranthes the
flowers are green and the lateral lobes of the lip are lanceolate-caudate
and coiled at the apices.
