Pedersen, H. Æ. 1995. Thirteen new species of Dendrochilum (Orchidaceae), a new record from Burma, and a checklist of the genus in East Malesia. — Nord. J. Bot. 15: 381402. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107–055X. Seven new species of Dendrochilum are described from the Philippines, viz. D. amesianum, D. flexuosum, D. louisianum, D. parvipapillatum, D. plocoglottoides, D. quisumbingianum and D. tetradactyliferum . The widespread species D. longifolium is recorded from Burma for the first time, and an annotated checklist of Dendrochilum in East Malesia, i.e. the Lesser Sunda Islands, Sulawesi, the Moluccas, and New Guinea is given. This list enumerates a total of 21 species, including D. cornutum and D. pallideflavens which are here recorded from East Malesia for the first time. Six species in the checklist are described as new, viz. D. ambangense, D. citrinum, D. erectila‐bium, D. eymae, D. galeatum , and D. longipedicellatum .
