Vanda miniata (Lindley) L.M.Gardiner View in CoL , comb. nov.

Basionym: Saccolabium miniatum Lindley (1847 View in CoL : t26).

Homotypic synonyms:

Ascocentrum miniatum (Lindl.) Schlechter (1913: 975) View in CoL .

Distribution:— Java, possibly Sumatra.

Notes:— Vanda miniata has been described as being distributed widely in South East Asia, from Assam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Sumatra and Java ( WCSP 2012), but Christenson (1992) and Motes (pers. comm.) consider this species to be restricted to Java (and possibly Sumatra) only. Seidenfaden (1988) considered the distribution to include Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Java, and possibly into the Philippines, although he thought it likely that at least some of these specimens could be attributed to V. aurantiaca . Specimens of V. garayi and V. aurantiaca are frequently misidentified as V. miniata in herbarium and living collections, and their distributions have as a result been inadvertently incorporated into that of true V. miniata ( Christenson 1992) .
