Abstract

Tripura is a part of Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot and is rich in orchid diversity. The present paper deals with 10 species of Dendrobium recorded from Tripura during the field survey in 2016-2018. This paper deals with three new additions of Dendrobium species i.e., Dendrobium aphyllum, Dendrobium capillipes and Dendrobium formosum to Tripura.
