Peduncle green, 4 – 7 cm long, pubescent, with 3 sheaths; sheaths tubular, 1 – 2 cm, membranous; rachis 6 – 15 cm long, pubescent, sparsely 10 - 16 flowered; floral bracts sub-oblong to lanceolate, lowest ones 5 – 6 mm long, upper ones ca. 4 mm long above, membranous, abaxially pubescent, apex acuminate or acute. Flowers resupinate, palegreen or green; pedicel 6 – 10 mm long, slender, densely pubescent; ovary fusiform, 2 - 3 mm long, densely pubescent; sepals and petals spreading. Sepals ligulate-lanceolate, 4 – 5 long, ca. 1.5 mm wide, outer surfaces sparsely pubescent, with prominent midvein, apex acuminate or acute; lateral sepals falcate. Petals linear, 4 – 5 mm long, ca. 0.5 mm wide, glabrous, with prominent midvein. Lip spreading forward, cuneate, 6 – 8 mm long, 3 – 4 mm wide, ecallous, base narrow, upper provide two pleats, apex 2 - lobed; lobelets triangular, 1.5 – 2.5 mm long, less than 1 / 3 of lip, margins minutely ciliate, apices acute; sinus with a short tooth between lobes. Column arcuate, 2.5 – 3 mm long; anther inclined toward rostellum, elliptic, ca. 0.7 mm long; stigma concave, suborbicular; rostellum spreading horizontally, broadly ovate-round, nearly as long as anther.

0386C004FFB0885A50FF7776FEEFF983.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — Approximately 20 individuals were observed in Milin County. This new species grows under alpine thickets of bamboo, at an elevation of 3370 – 3400 m. Phenology: — Flowers were observed from July to August. Chinese name: — Mǐ Lín Niǎo Cháo Lán (※ fl ḁ 4 ±). Relationships: — N. milinensis is morphologically similar to N. camtschatea and N. tenii by sharing pubescent inflorescence, resupinate flowers, 2 - lobed apex with acute lobes, margins minutely ciliate, sinus with a short tooth between lobes. However, N. milinensis can be readily distinguished from them by having slender pedicel, base up to more than 3 times of ovary (base less than 2 times of ovary in N. camtschatea and N. tenii), lip 8 mm long (10 – 12 mm long in N. camtschatea) and without a pair of auricles at base (with a pair of auricles at base in N. tenii), lobelets triangular (lobelets lanceolate in N. camtschatea and N. tenii) and less than 1 / 3 of lip (up to 1 / 2 of lip in N. camtschatea).	en	Lei, Jia-Jun, Zhang, Xin, Jin, Xiao-Hua (2023): Neottia milinensis (Orchidaceae: Neottieae), a new species from Xizang, China.
