2F00C5681312FF813F98BAD6DD88FCA3.taxon	description	Epiphytic herb; pseudobulbs erect, usually branching, clustered, 10 – 65 cm long and 2 – 6 mm in diameter. The base of the stems expands into hard wood, and the stem is spindle-shaped with longitudinal ribs and internodes 2 – 4 cm long. Leaves thin and leathery, 3 – 7 cm in length and 0.5 – 1.4 mm in width, with blunt rounded tips and unequal 2 - lobed sides. Raceme, thick, fragrant, spreading, golden yellow flowers. Dosal sepal ovoid, while the side sepals are oval. Petals obovate, and the lip obovate, the petal veins obvious. The anther cap is elliptical, with a smooth surface and a slightly orange yellow lip. The lip is 1.5 – 1.8 cm long and 1.2 – 1.5 cm wide. The lip is triple lobed, with lateral lobes surrounding the column. The middle lobe is densely covered with short papillary hairs.	en	Liang, Meng, Chang, Ling-Ling, Wang, Jia-Xin, Zhang, Yu, Liu, Lei, Zhang, Ze, Li, Zhen-Jian (2024): Dendrobium jizhuyeense (Orchidaceae; Epidendroideae) a new species from China: evidence from morphology and DNA.
