Notes:— The name Vanda pusilla cannot be used for the combination of Ascocentrum pusillum Aver. in Vanda , and so a new name for this taxon is required. Vanda pusilla Teijsmann & Binnendijk (1853: 493) is now considered to be a synonym of Trichoglottis pusilla (Teijsm. & Binn.) Reichenbach fil. (1856: 325). The new epithet nana is selected here, in reference to the diminutive size of the plant and flowers.
