Notes on Asian Orchidaceae <scp>II</scp> : Rediscovery of <i>Crepidium parryae</i> After Nearly 100 Years and Taxonomic Notes on <i>Crepidium purpureum</i> and <i>Crepidium khasianum</i>

ABSTRACT Crepidium parryae , originally known from Mizoram, has been rediscovered in Arunachal Pradesh after nearly 100 years. This paper provides a comprehensive description of the species, including taxonomic notes, color plates, line drawings, habitat information, and an assessment of its conservation status. Furthermore, Crepidium assamicum K. Gogoi &amp; J. Sharma and C. meghalayense M. Murugesan, Sushil K. Singh, &amp; A. A. Mao are now synonymized under C. purpureum (Lindl.) Szlach., while C. falcifolium Nuammee, Seelanan &amp; H. A. Pedersen, and C. matsudae (Yamam.) Szlach. are synonymized under C. khasianum (Hook.f.) Szlach., based on their morphological similarities. Taxonomic notes supporting these synonymies are also included.
