“…Recently, the genus Monolophus was reinstated by Mood et al (2014) with 22 new combinations. So far, the genus consists of 33 species (Larsen and Smith 1972;Larsen 1973Larsen , 2002Larsen and Jenjittikul 2004;Suksathan and Triboun 2004;Picheansoonthon and Mokkamul 2006;Ngamriabsakul 2008;Tiyaworanant 2010;Chaturvedi et al 2012;Roy and Barbhuiya 2013;Intharapichai et al 2014;Mood et al 2014;Phokham et al 2015a, b;Sangnark et al 2016;Veldkamp 2016;Bhaumik et al 2017;Barbhuiya et al 2018;Douangdeuane et al 2019) from the Himalayas to South East Asia. There are two distinct groups, the yellow-flowered species (~28 taxa) that are distributed in Thailand and adjacent countries and the other non-yellowflowered species (purple, red-purple, pink and white) (~5 taxa) which are localized in Eastern Himalaya (Bhaumik et al 2017).…”

Monolophus odontochilus Y.H.Tan & H.B.Ding, a new species from Northern Myanmar, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to M. linearis, but differs by having elliptic to oblong leaves (vs. linear-lanceolate to lanceolate), bilobed ligules (vs. entire), purely white corolla (vs. pinkish white), semi-orbicular crenate labellum (vs. trilobed). In addition, a diagnostic key to the new species of Monolophus and its closely related non-yellow flowered species is provided. New combinations are proposed here for Caulokaempferia phokhamii Picheans. & Douangde. and C. wongsuwaniae Picheans. & Douangde. from Laos.
