The Western Ghats of India, including the Sindhudurg District of Maharashtra, are renowned for their rich and endemic plants diversity. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the orchid flora of Sindhudurg, with a focus on their taxonomy, distribution, habitat, and conservation status. A total of 66 species of orchids, belonging to 26 genera, were recorded from the study area. Habenaria and Dendrobium emerged as the most diverse genera, with 16 and 9 species, respectively. The orchid assemblage comprised 34 terrestrial, 32 epiphytic. Notably, Habenaria dominated the terrestrial orchids, while Dendrobium was prominent among epiphytes. The study highlights the presence of 27 orchid species that are endemic to India. The orchids were found to inhabit a range of habitats, including evergreen forests, deciduous forests, and grasslands. Habitat destruction, over-collection, and climate change were identified as major threats to the orchid diversity of the region. This study provides valuable insights into the orchid diversity of Sindhudurg District, highlighting the need for conservation efforts to protect these ecologically important and threatened species.
