Abstract
Eulophia edwardii (TED'S EULOPHIA) is illustrated here. It is a narrow endemic only known from one population near Port Edward in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. A detailed description and notes on its discovery, habitat and confusion about its identity are provided. We estimate that only about 200 plants remain in the wild and thus its conservation status was assessed as Critically Endangered. Twenty-nine species of Eulophia are now known to occur in South Africa and ten of them are endemic to the country.
