Species list

The 2022 list of New Zealand Orchid taxa, compiled by Ian St George.

Currently accepted names are underlined. Previous names for each species are noted underneath.

“Sensu” is a Latin term meaning “in the sense of”. Sometimes used in two ways sensu lato and sensu stricto - abbreviated to s.l. and s.s. These terms mean ‘in the broad sense’ and ‘in the strict sense’. They are usually
applied when a species has been split into more than one species - e.g. Acianthus reniformis sensu Moore Trans. & Proc. Roy. Soc. New Zealand 75: 369 (1945). Sensu here means in the sense that Lucy Moore
described it in the publication.

Tag-named entities, with one exception, include reference to the herbarium voucher number.

To search for details about a particular species click on the species name highlighted in brownish-orange, This will take you directly to the page for that species. Clicking on the main photo for a species will enlarge the image and make available a click through gallery of largest available size photos for that species.
