Statistics

The Plant List includes 475 scientific plant names of species rank for the genus Disa. Of these 185 are accepted species names.

The Plant List includes a further 50 scientific plant names of infraspecific rank for the genus Disa. We do not intend The Plant List to be complete for names of infraspecific rank. These are primarily included because names of species rank are synonyms of accepted infraspecific names.
