RARE SPECIES OF ORCHIDS (ORCHIDACEAE) IN THE FLORA OF VIETNAM РЕДКИЕ ВИДЫ ОРХИДНЫХ (ORCHIDACEAE) ВО ФЛОРЕ ВЬЕТНАМА
New localities of 283 orchid species (Orchidaceae), which belong to 87 genera, are reported in the paper. All discoveries are based on herbarium materials collected on the territory of Vietnam during field works of 1999-2002 years as well as on herbarium and living samples that were found in Herbaria and private collections in Vietnam. Among reported orchids 3 genera (Didymoplexiella, Plocoglottis, Tuberolabium) and 32 species (Anoectochilus repens, Bulbophyllum clipeibulbum, B. funingense, B. penicillium, B. smitinandii, Coelogyne ecarinata, C. huettneriana, Cyrtosia integra, Dendrobium brymerianum, D. chittimae, D. cruentum, D. hancockii, Didymoplexiella siamensis, Eria bilobulata, E. spicata, Habenaria amplexicaule, Hetaeria biloba, Kingidium minus, Liparis aurita, Luisia thailandica, Malaxis calophylla, Nervilia macroglossa, Oberonia pumilio, Phalaenopsis braceana, Ph. honghe-nensis, Ph. sumatrana, Ph. wilsonii, Plocoglottis bokorensis, P. javanica, Porpax reticulata, Schoenorchis seidenfadenii, Tuberolabium rhopalorrhachis) were found in Vietnam at first and represent new additions to the orchid flora of the country. Valid names are accepted for 5 species, one of them proposed as a new for science (Eria pachyphylla Tsi et S.C. Chen ex Aver., nom. nov.). They are Bulbophyllum longibrachiatum (=B. purpureifolium.), Cephalantheropsis obcordata (=C. gracilis), Cheirostylis takeoi (=Ch. eglandulosa), Eria lasiopetala (=E. albidotomentosa, E. pubescens), Eria pachyphylla (E. crassifolia).
The paper continues our publications of new localities of rare orchid species collected by the author and his colleagues in remote unstudied mountain areas of Vietnam (Averyanov, 1988а,б, 1989, 1998, 1999, 2000а,б; Averyanov, Averyanova, 2000; Averyanov, Vu Ngok Long, 1989; Averyanov, Duong Duc Huyen, 1989, 1990, 1993). Field exploration works, results of which are presented in this publication, were supported in different parts from investigation programs of American Orchid Society (grants «Exploration of endangered calcium dependent orchid flora in inaccessible rocky limestone areas of the North Vietnam» and «Population studies of endemic Paphiopedilum species in northern Viet Nam»), U.S.A. National Geographic Society (grants # 5094-93, 5803-96, 6383-98 «Flora of Highlands of South Vietnam», # 6300-98 «Limestone flora of Cao Bang province of North Viet Nam» and # 6733-
00, «Botanical inventory of unexplored areas in Viet Nam: the north»), U.S.A. National Science Foundation (# DEB-9870231 «Collaborative Research: A MultiTaxa Inventory of Threatened Conservation areas in Viet Nam»), Basic Research program in Biology of Viet Nam (# 611001 «Threatened conifers and cycads of Vietnam»), Fauna & Flora International (FFI, Vietnam Program «Community-based Conservation of the Hoang Lien Mountain Ecosystem, Vietnam») and International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (# 1-U01-TW01015-01, the National Institutes
of Health, National Science Foundation, and the Foreign Agriculture Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, U.S.A.).
Field studies of the flora and vegetation according to mentioned investigation programs were connected with extensive collection of herbarium materials, which represent voucher materials for all published reports of species localities. Collected herbarium samples in a number of duplicate sets are housed mainly at Herbaria of the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources of the National Center for Natural Sciences and Technology of Vietnam (HN), Cuc Phuong National Park, Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Science (LE) and Missouri Botanical Garden (MO).
The orchid names in the list are arranged in alphabetic order. Abbreviated and unified text of the herbarium labels are reported for each collecting numbers. In the text are used next abbreviations: Prov. (Province), Distr. (District), Mun. (Municipality), vic. (vicinity, vicinities), elev. (elevation, elevations), mt. (mountain, mountains). The names of orchid species and genera reported for Vietnam at first are marked with asterisk (*). Prefixes at the collecting numbers represent next abbreviations:
CB, CBL - Caobang Limestone (collections on program of U.S.A. National Geographic Society «Limestone flora of Cao Bang province of North Viet Nam», Principal Investigator Dr. Nguyen Tien Hiep),
CP - collections in Cuc Phuong National Park (commonly without indication of collectors),
