Summary:Morphological variation in Gastrochilus calceolaris (Buch.-Ham. ex Sm.) D.Don has been studied based on live and herbarium specimens. As a result, Gastrochilus carnosus Z.H.Tsi and Gastrochilus garhwalensis Z.H.Tsi are treated here as heterotypic synonyms of Gastrochilus calceolaris. Similarly, Gastrochilus corymbosus A.P.Das & S.Chanda has been synonymised to Gastrochilus distichus (Lindl.) Kuntze. A note on typification of Gastrochilus calceolaris has been provided and the report of Gastrochilus changjiangensis Q.Liu & M.Z.Huang from India has been found as misidentification for Gastrochilus linearifolius Z.H.Tsi & Garay.
