Abstract
Habenaria reniformis (D.Don) Hook.f. and Liparis deflexa Hook.f. (Orchidaceae), known to be widespread in south and south-east Asia, are now reported here for the first time from Sri Lanka. Detailed taxonomic descriptions on Sri Lankan specimens, information on type, line drawings, notes on habitats, ecology, updated global distribution, and conservation status of these species for Sri Lanka are provided. The total number of the species of family Orchidaceae in Sri Lanka now stands at 199 species with these two additions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
