Abstract

This is the first part of a taxonomic revision of section Hololobus of the paleotropical orchid genus Crepidium (Orchidaceae–Malaxidinae). Based on morphology and habit, the new subsection Maximowiczianae is established to include six species from India, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. The new combination Crepidium carinatum is published with C. benguetense as a synonym. A key is provided, and all species are described and illustrated.
