Eulophia dabia is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native from Afghanistan to south China and the Nicobar Islands. ^[1] It was first described by David Don in 1825 as Bletia dabia. ^[2]

Distribution

Eulophia dabia is native to Afghanistan, China (south-central, southeast and Hainan), the Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh, the east and west Himalayas, the Indian region, Nepal and Pakistan), and Central Asia (Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan). ^[1]

Conservation

Eulophia faberi was assessed as "vulnerable" in the 2004 IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to China. ^[3] As of February 2023 ^[update] , E. faberi was regarded as a synonym of Eulophia dabia, which has a much wider distribution. ^[1]
