Diploprora
Introduction '''''Diploprora''''' is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It contains two recognized species, native to Asia:*''Diploprora championii'' (Lindl.) Hook.f. - India, Assam, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam,  Fujian, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Yunnan*''Diploprora truncata'' Rolfe ex Downie - Thailand, Arunachal PradeshIt has been established, that ''Diploprora truncata'' is more closely related to ''Malleola baliensis'', which is a synonym of ''Robiquetia aberrans'' (Schltr.) Kocyan & Schuit, than to the type species of the genus ''Diploprora championii''. Thus, the genus is polyphyletic.
