Abstract

Two new records of Dendrobium, D. daklakense, and D. metrium, are reported for the flora of Laos for the first time. Photographs, information on habitat and ecology, vernacular names and additional notes for each species are given based on collections from Dak Cheung Plateau, Sekong Province (D. daklakense), and Phou Khao Khouay National Park, Vientiane Province (D. metrium). An updated checklist with classification section of Dendrobium in Laos is also provided.
