  • Assessment of the conservation status of Gavilea species (Orchidaceae, Chloraeinae) in Argentina and Chile. Gavilea comprises 17 species of terrestrial orchids that inhabit southern Argentina and central and southern Cchile. Ttheir conservation status was evaluated in order to plan future conservation tools using the information obtained from field trips, herbarium specimens and recent literature. Species were categorizedusing the UuICNcn and the PlanEAr criterions, and potential hazards for each species were also evaluated. Although most of the species are not endangered, G. cardioglossa, G. insularis, G. kingii, G. trullata and G. supralabellataare considered at risk and should be protected.
