The importance of orchids to the cause of conservation is stressed. Progress in the cataloguing of the orchids of tropical Africa is reviewed and it is concluded that the orchid flora is incompletely known. It is suggested that, to aid the conservationists, authoritative checklists for each country be produced as a prior step to the writing of floristic accounts.
