Devogelia (Orchidaceae), a new genus from the Moluccas and New Guinea

The new orchid genus Devogelia from the Moluccas and New Guinea is described and illustrated. Its possible affinities are discussed and it is tentatively concluded that Devogelia belongs either to the tribe Cymbidieae or to the Malaxideae. So far a single species, here described as D. intonsa Schuit., is known, which occurs as a locally abundant terrestrial in lower montane forest.
