We describe a new taxon of Goodyera (Orchidaceae), G. ${\times}$ tamnaensis N.S. Lee, K.S. Lee, S.H. Yeau & C.S. Lee, sp. nov., from Jeju Island. This taxon is presumed to be a hybrid between G. schlechtendaliana and G. velutina based on several morphological characteristics, i.e., leaf venation, a patterned leaf surface and raised leaf epidermal cells, the color of the flower and the bract, the lateral sepal shape, and the hair length. The morphological characteristics and illustrations of the species based on the holotype are provided together with photographs of the habitat.
