    Abstract:

    [Objective] Gastrodia elata Bl. f. cyaneum L. B. Lin represents newly identified forma of Gastrodia that originated from Xiaocaoba Town, Zhaotong, Yunnan. Comprehensive documentation of its morphological characteristics, including color photographs, accompanies this discovery. [Methods] Meticulous dissection, morphological examination, and comparative analysis with established specimens and literature. [Results] Distinguished features that set G. elata f. cyaneum apart include an inverted egg-shaped tuber, the protruding, long, gray-green terminal bud, and the clear blue color of the floral axis, flowers, and capsules. [Conclusion] This research establishes G. elata f. cyaneum as a novel forma. The identification of the novel G. elata forma not only enriches the diversity of orchids, but also presents valuable resources for the breeding of G. elata.
