Please find our first article from Hong Kong (after I joined) attached here with the mail.
We also have merged two classical taxa, Cheirostylis pusilla Lindl. and Cheirostylis malleifera C.S.P.Parish & Rchb. together, with Cheirostylis pusilla as the accepted name.
This is also a new record from Hong Kong.

I went through the paper, it is very nice. Congratulations on the publication.
