Identity of Goodyera shixingensis (Orchidaceae)

After observing the floral characters of living plants and herbarium specimens of Goodyera yangmeishanensis T. P. Lin, we found the variation range of those species covered that of G. shixingensis K. Y. Lang. Checking the holotype and isotype of G. shixingensis confirmed our observation. The name of G. shixingensis is thus reduced as a synonym of G. yangmeishanensis.
