Abstract

Vanda ranks among the top five most popular genera with growers of tropical Asian orchids. Now with the inclusion of Ascocentrum, Christensonia, Euanthe, Neofinetia, Trudelia and Aerides flabellata, there are nearly 73 species, 2 subspecies and 4 natural hybrids in the genus (Gardiner et al. 2013). Vanda lombokensis was not included in the list. Vanda is distributed from Himalaya to Sri Lanka and across Southeast Asia to some Pacific Islands. Apart from the species that previously belonged to Ascocentrum and Neofinetia, plants are generally large, monopodial, epiphytic, with coriaceous, recurved, strap leaves. Offshoots arise from the base. Inflorescence is lateral, with several to many small, medium size or large, heavy-textured flowers. Sepals and petals are free, often similar, but in some species, the petals are much smaller than the sepals. Lip is tri-lobed. Colours range from white to yellow, brown, pink, red, blue and purple, often with spots or tessellations. Several species are variable, a few with officially designated varietal names.
