Anoectochilus Blume View in CoL
The two species occur in Sri Lanka, A. elatus and the endemic, A. regalis . During the current work only A. regalis was observed. This is an EN species ( MOE, 2012), and during the present study it was recorded in Hantane and Deanston, in scattered patches on the forest floor. However, this species is undergoing direct exploitation for medicinal purposes which could be the reason for the current conservation status.
