Specimens examined:— UPPER MYANMAR. 1800−1950 m, Jan 1900, Mokim 13 & 71 ( CAL) . KACHIN. Putao District : 1830 m, Kingdon-Ward 7620 ( K) ; same loc., 1220 m, 29 Oct 1953, Kingdon-Ward 21528 ( BM) ; Bhamo District : Bogg BG 22 ( K) . SHAN. Taunggyi District : 1450−1620 m, 30 Nov 2008, Tanaka et al. 080131 ( MBK, TI) ; same loc., Saw Lwin s.n. ( SING [s]) .

Distribution:— The eastern Himalayas, northeastern India, Upper Myanmar and southwestern China.

Notes:— Molecular studies confirmed that this taxon is better placed in a broadly defined Holcoglossum ( Xiang et al. 2012) . It was previously treated as Ascocentrum himalaicum , Vanda himalaica and more recently as Pendulorchis himalaica . Christenson (1987: 256) listed Kingdon-Ward 18339 (NY) as being from Myanmar, but the locality is in Manipur, India.
