Abstract: The only specimen of Ascocentrum semiteretifolium Seidenf. [=Holcoglossum semiteretifolium (Seidenf.) R. Rice] recorded from Arunachal Pradesh, India in the year 1995 has been correctly identified as Holcoglossum nagalandense (Phukan & Odyuo) X.H. Jin. Consequently, the former has been excluded from the Orchid Flora of India and the later has been reported here as an addition to the Orchid Flora of Arunachal Pradesh. Relationship between the two species has been discussed based on the study of type specimens and the original descriptions. Holcoglossum nagalandense has been assessed as ‘Endangered’ by following the IUCN guidelines.
