    ABSTRACT
    In this paper, a new species of genus Luisia Gaud. (Orchidaceae) is described and illustrated. L. indica n. sp. is morphologically similar to L. trichorhiza (Hook.) Bl., but it is distinguished from L. trichorhiza by its smaller flowers and smooth surfaced greenish lip with purple spots together with five veined sepals and petals.
