Abstract

Summary: Cynorkis mammuthus Hermans & P.J.Cribb from Madagascar was formally described in 2017 from an unidentified herbarium specimen and was thought to be extinct until it was recently found flourishing in northern Madagascar. It is illustrated here and a full description, history and conservation assessment are provided. It is compared with similar species from the region, especially Cynorkis elephantina.
