Abstract
As an aid to ourselves and others studying the orchids, we have started an index of new orchid names, to be published annually. It is felt that such an index may be of value to the many botanists and others interested in this large and complex family. For new taxa we have indicated the country or origin and the location of type material (using the standard abbreviations), if this is known. For new combinations, new names or changes in rank, we cite the basionym with the new name. We have abbreviated the authors' names less than is customary, as we feel that a saving of only one or two spaces does not justify the loss of clarity. A few names which were published in mimeographed news letters are purposely omitted. Such publication is of dubious validity under the rules of nomenclature, and certainly should be avoided. We would be very glad to receive corrections or additions to the index, to be appended to the Index for 1961. Subfamily Cypripedioideae Garay, Bot. Mus. Leafl. 19:86. Type genus: Cypripedium L.
