Recent fieldwork in Ha Giang province, Northern Vietnam resulted in the collection of Pholidota longipes, a species only known in South-Central China. Thus, we herein report the first record of the species for the Orchid Flora of Vietnam. Morphological description and illustrations based on living collected materials, data on phenology, geographical distribution, and taxonomic notes of related species are presented below. With this new record, Vietnam now holds a total number of 16 Pholidota species.
