  abstract = {{B}ackground and aims - {W}hile conducting a taxonomic revision of the genera {D}iaphananthe and {R}hipidoglossum ({O}rchidaceae), a new taxon from {E}quatorial {G}uinea and {C}ameroon was discovered, and is formally described here. {M}ethods - {A} comparison of about 800 specimens with the nomenclatural types and the specimens housed at {BR}, {BRLU}, {K}, {P}, {WAG} and {YA} herbaria was undertaken in order to confirm the taxonomical status of the new taxon. {I}ts conservation status was assessed using the {IUCN} {R}ed {L}ist {C}ategories and {C}riteria. {K}ey results - {R}hipidoglossum montealenense {D}escourvieres, {S}tevart & {P}.{J}.{C}ribb sp. nov., here described and illustrated, is endemic to {R}io {M}uni ({E}quatorial {G}uinea) and southern {C}ameroon. {T}he species is found in the mountainous area situated along the transition from the coastal and to the continental regions of {A}tlantic {C}entral {A}frica. {I}t is close to {R}. melianthum but differs by its decurrent petals, a small ovary and a comparatively short spur. {T}he species also differs from {R}. paucifolium by its elliptical lip lacking a callus and by rounded to subacute sepals and petals, and from {R}. rutilum by its short leaf internodes. {T}he species is considered as {E}ndangered according to {IUCN} {C}ategories and {C}riteria. {I}ts survival in situ will likely depend on the maintenance of the subpopulation in the {M}onte {A}len {N}ational {P}ark.},
