The study of herbarium specimens and pertinent literature with regard to Herminium jaffreyanum King & Pantl. has revealed that the species should be transferred to the genus Androcorys Schltr. Accordingly a new combination is proposed.

The critical study of the relevant literatures, type image, herbarium and living specimens of Herminium macrophyllum (D. Don) Dandy revealed that this species clearly belongs to the genus Peristylus Blume and should not be treated in the genus Herminium. Therefore, a new combination is proposed to transfer Herminium macrophyllum (D. Don) Dandy to the genus Peristylus.

Observations on the morphological variations in Androcorys josephi (Rchb.f.) Agrawala & H. J. Chowdhery (Orchidaceae) along with notes on its rare status are discussed.

Eulophia ochreata Lindl. (Orchidaceae), an endemic species to India is reported for the first time from North-East India. Detailed description along with, illustration provided for easy identification.

A lectotype is selected for Herminium angustilabre King & Pantl. in the present paper. The image of the selected lectotype is also provided.
