Orchidantha stercorea H. D.Trân & Škorničk. (Lowiaceae), a new species from the Khánh Hòa province, Vietnam is described and illustrated. It is related to two other species known from Indochina, O. laotica K. Larsen and O. vietnamica K. Larsen. A tabulated comparison as well as a key to the species are provided. An improved description and colour plates of O. vietnamica , which was earlier described from poor herbarium material only, is also included.
