Introduction

The orchid genus Coelogyne comprises over 200 species and is distributedthroughout

Southeast Asia with maincentres of diversity in Borneo, Sumatraand the Himalayas

(Clayton, 2002). The genus was subdivided into 5 sections by Lindley (1854a), into

14 sections by Reichenbach (1861a) and Pfitzer & Kraenzlin (1907a) (not identical with of into the ones Lindley) and 5 subgenera and 14 sections by Butzin (1974)

(partly different from the ones of Pfitzer & Kraenzlin).

Carr published sect. Moniliformes (from the Latin monile, a necklace, which refers to the shape of the rachis) in 1935, stating that the species of the affinity ofC. incrassata

(Blume) Lindl. should be considered as forming a separate section, differing from other sections of Coelogyne by the single large leafand the swollen rachis.

In this study, the following combinationof character states was found to be diag- nostic for sect. Moniliformes: pseudobulbs narrowly conico-oblongoid, distally curved,

1-leafed, to red-brown tinged green when fresh; leaves herbaceous, tinged greento red-brown when fresh, sometimes grey-green, base abruptly narrowing into the petiole, margin slightly to distinctly and finely undulating; peduncle without sterile bracts at the base; rachis usually (except in C. kelamensis) with swollen, constricted nodes, that are quadrangular to round in cross section; many, arising from the inflorescence in clusters of three or more at the same time or successively over a long period, small to medium-sized; pedicel and ovary (and sometimes also the floral bracts, sepals and 410 BLUMEA Vol. 47, No. 3, 2002
