“…Oxygyne yamashitae was described in 2008 (Yahara & Tsukaya, ); indeed, the first taxonomic monograph of Oxygyne was published only in 2018 (Cheek et al, ) and raised the number of recognized species from four to six. Meanwhile, recent discoveries in the related genus Thismia include T. cornuta , T. pallida (Hroneš et al, ), and T. hexagona (Dančák et al, ) in Borneo; T. filiformis in Thailand (Chantanaorrapint, ); T. clavarioides in Australia (Thiele & Jordan, ); the rediscovery of T. neptunis —not seen for 151 years—in Borneo in 2017 (Sochor, Egertová, Hroneš, & Dančák, ); and T. kobensis found preserved in a Japanese natural history museum, and probably now extinct (Suetsugu, Nakanishi, Kobayashi, & Kurosaki, ). This remarkable spate of recent discoveries, coupled with elusive life history, suggests more species await discovery in the Thismiaceae.…”
