Eulophia R. Bown ex Lindl.

There are 5 species reported in Sri Lanka and only one species was observed, E. epidendraea [Syn: Serapias epidendraea J. König in Retz., Limodorum virens Roxb. , Eulophia virens (Roxb.)R. Br. ex Lindl. ]. In 1981 Jayaweera stated that this species is observed as lithophytes and saprophytes on rocks in the intermediate and dry zone. However during the present study observations of this species were made from Kegalle in wet zone. This is a LC species ( MOE, 2012).
