Revisions in Coelogyninae (Orchidaceae) IV. Coelogyne section Tomentosae

This article contains a taxonomic revision of Coelogyne section Tomentosae (24 species). Five species (C. acutilabium, C. bruneiensis, C. echinolabium, C. latiloba, C. velulina) are newly described; three other species are allotted for the first time to this section (C. buennemeyeri, C. distans, C. rupicola). One species, formerly included in section Tomentosae, is excluded (C. veitchii). Six species are here reduced to synonymy. A key to the species is provided. Synonymy, description, distribution, habitat notes, colour descriptions and detailed illustrations are given for the section and all its species.
