Why are new orchids still being discovered?
Dr. Phillip Cribb (*)

New species continue to be added at a more or less steady rate if 200-300 per annum and the discovery of new species shows no sign of declining. How long can flow of new species continue? The last of the world`s wild places are being opened up. The montane forests are threaten, fields are being cleared on the steepest slopes. Many orchids are being destroyed before scientists can describe them. I anticipate that the flow of new species will continue unabated for a decade or two but time is running out. The idea that new species of orchids evolve rapidly has been mooted by some orchid specialists to explain the numbers of novelties found in the Andes. Those ideas are discussed.
