Habenaria, Myanmar, identification key, review, typificationAbstract
A review of the genus Habenaria in Myanmar is presented. Fifty species are recognised, with 11 of them endemic to the country. Only 24 species are well-documented in Myanmar, being known from several to many collections, while the remaining 26 species are currently only known from one or two collections. An identification key to the species is provided. Accepted names and their place of publication, synonyms, citations in relevant floristic literature and type specimens are given in all taxa. We also provide short descriptions, a list of examined specimens from Myanmar, as well as notes on distribution, habitat ecology and flowering time. Colour photographs and black-and-white sketches of a number of species are also included.
