Notes:
The cultivated vanilla, V. planifolia Andrews, a native of Mexico, is cultivated in the north-east for its seed-pods. Vanilla phalaenopsis Rchb.f. ex Van Houtte is listed by Stein from Madagascar, the type is from the Seychelles, but this may be conspecific with, and an earlier name for V. madagascariensis. The name V. montagnacii is not invalidly published, but represents a distinct species.
