Asia to W. Pacific Note: Dr. Almeida in Flora of Maharastra writes this as a synonym ofEulophianuda which is wrong. He has even cited the authors of this species wrongly among the synonyms. Correct author citation is,Eulophiaspectabilis(Dennst.) Suresh published in 1988 is based on a basionym WolfiaspectabilisDennst., Schlüssel Hortus Malab.: 38 (1818), whereasEulophianuda Lindl. was published in 1833. So following ICBN Vienna code according ti priority of publicationEulophiaspectabilisshould have been the correct name for this plant.
