Abstract. Trichosalpinx minutipetala, considered a synonym of T. memor since 1997, is recognized as a distinct species. Descriptions and illustrations of both species are provided, and a comparative table of morphological characters is included. T. minutipetala is compared morphologically to T. memor, from which it can be readily
distinguished by the much larger habit, the densely hispid margins of the ramicaul sheaths, the dorsal sepal white suffused with purple along the veins, the quadrate petals and the oblong lip abruptly descending in the middle.
