Le volume premier de la famille des orchidacées de la Flore des Mascareignes regroupe deux espèces (Amphorkis inermis et Arnottia mauritiana) sous le binôme Cynorkis inermis. L'étude de la littérature et du matériel d'herbier disponible à CBNM, MARS, MAU, MPU, P, et REU, nous a mené à la conclusion que Amphorkis inermis Thouars et Arnottia mauritiana A.Rich. ne sont pas synonymes mais sont deux espèces distinctes que nous proposons de reconnaître respectivement sous les binômes Cynorkis inermis et Cynorkis mauritiana comb. nov. La comparaison des types et des diagnoses des deux espèces permet de confirmer que Cynorkis inermis diffère de Cynorkis mauritiana comb. nov. par ses fleurs non résupinées et par ses pièces florales plus petites. La présence actuelle de Cynorkis inermis sur l'île Maurice est confirmée, alors qu'aucun spécimen ne permet de confirmer son existence passée ou présente sur l'île de La Réunion. Cynorkis mauritiana comb. nov. est très commune à La Réunion mais sa présence actuelle sur l'île Maurice reste à confirmer.
Identity of Amphorkis inermis Thouars and Arnottia mauritiana A.Rich. two distinct species, considered as synonyms of Cynorkis inermis (Thouars) Hermans & P. J. Cribb in the “Flore des Mascareignes”. The first volume of the Orchidaceae family of the “Flore des Mascareignes” groups two species (Amphorkis inermis and Arnottia mauritiana) under the name Cynorkis inermis. The study of the literature and herbarium material available at CBNM, MARS, MAU, MPU, P, and REU, led us to the conclusion that Amphorkis inermis Thouars and Arnottia mauritiana A.Rich. are not synonyms but two distinct species that we propose to recognize respectively under the binomials Cynorkis inermis and Cynorkis mauritiana comb. nov. Comparing the types and diagnoses of the two species makes it possible to establish that Cynorkis inermis differs from Cynorkis mauritiana comb. nov. by its resupinate flowers and by the smaller size of its floral parts. The current presence of Cynorkis inermis in Mauritius is confirmed while there is no specimen to confirm its past or present existence in La Réunion. Cynorkis mauritiana comb. nov., is very common in La Réunion but its current presence in Mauritius remains to be confirmed.
