| Omschrijving: | From an economic and taxonomic point of view, Orchidaceae is one of the most studied botanical families. In Uruguay it is poorly represented and known, and descriptive data are fragmented and scattered. In the present work the information on the species of this family is updated based on herbaria records, previous publications and field trips made in the country during 2018–2019. A list of Orchidaceae from Uruguay is presented with 59 species belonging to18 genera. Four species were found endemic to the country, while 22 species are endemic to the Southern Cone region. The Gondwanic Sedimentary Basin was the ecoregion with the highest species diversity (51%) and the richest departments were Cerro Largo (25 spp.) and Maldonado (25 spp.). The Highland Forest and Riparian Forest environments presented highest diversity. The most representative genera were Habenaria(12 spp.) Cyclopogon(8 spp.) and Brachystele(6 spp.). The species with the widest distribution were Habenaria gourlieana, H. parviflora, and Cyclopogon elatus, which were found in all ecoregions and in 15 out of 19 departments of the country.
