Statistics

The Plant List includes 494 scientific plant names of species rank for the genus Malaxis. Of these 183 are accepted species names.

The Plant List includes a further 43 scientific plant names of infraspecific rank for the genus Malaxis. 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.
