The Northernmost Locality of the Mycoheterotrophic Orchid Gastrodia flexistyloides from Fukue-jima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan

Abstract

I found a rare mycoheterotrophic plant Gastrodia flexistyloides from Fukuejima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Because G. flexistyloides was previously discovered only from Takeshima Island, Kuroshima Island and Iojima Island, northern Ryukyu, Japan, this habitat represents the northernmost locality of the species.
