| Sumario: | In 2014, James D. Ackerman and collaborators published the last checklist of Cuban orchid species in the book, “Orchid Flora of the Greater Antilles”. The aim of our study was to determine the current number of orchid species in Cuba and adjacent islands culminating in an updated checklist.

We provide comments on taxonomic status on noteworthy species.
