Vanda Orchidaceae Monocots

Abstract

A number of new combinations of names in subtribe Aeridinae are needed to bring species nomenclature for Vanda into alignment with recent phylogenetic analyses and a treatment to be published in a forthcoming volume of Genera orchidacearum. I present 17 name transfers from Ascocentrum, Ascocentropsis, Christensonia, Eparmatostigma, and Neofinetia to Vanda or indicate where there are existing epithets combined previously in Vanda.
