Resumen

Vanilla yanesha, a new orchid species from Pasco, Peru, is proposed. It is similar in overall morphology to V. mexicana. However, V. yanesha is distinguished from the latter by its larger leaves, shorter inflorescence and labellum with a rounded middle lobe with 5 – 7 low, brownish keels. A line drawing and habitat in formation are provided as well as a comparison with morphologically similar species including a key to the Peruvian membranaceous-leaved species
