Borneo is the third-largest island in the world and known as a treasure island with high recorded biodiversity but threatened by the rapid disappearance of its forest and over-exploitation. Orchidaceae family is often being exploited for its unique appearance as ornamental plant. Many Orchid species were probably have not been seen but they already being extinct in the wild. Hence, we need an extensive study to understand the Orchid diversity in particular area. This paper aims to analyze on the general status and distribution of orchids in Kayan Mentarang National Park (KMNP), bordering Northern Sarawak and Sabah in North Kalimantan. During our fieldwork in KMNP we had an opportunity to observe and collect several Orchid species. The study area covers low and high altitude of the national park from 500 to 1200 m. We recorded 261 species that span 41 genera. Among them 251 species are epiphytic, and 10 species are terrestrial. The genera Bulbophyllum and Dendrobium dominate the diversity. While some genera like Aerides and Coelogyne shows more potential for ornamental plant. These results suggested that more effort to understand orchid diversity in the region should be taken by intensive field work to collect more specimens that help future studies to support in situ and ex situ conservation.
