Abstract: In total, 118 orchid species (25%) are endemic to the Himalayan region and 21 species are endemic to Nepal. Krober’s percentage similarity showed that the EAFR and ICFR have the highest percentage similarity (87%) followed by the MFR and ICFR (62%). In total, 92 species were used for medicinal purposes and 6 as food plants in Nepal. We conclude that Nepal is rich in orchid flora and the highest percentage of orchids originates from the EAFR.
