Aerides odorata (Orchidaceae), an economically important species, is distributed in Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh and India. The highly perfumed flowers from Aerides odorata form a dense hanging group variable in colour. Though an official IUCN assessment for Aerides odorata is unavailable, but the reports categorize the plant as threatened (Natta et al., 2021). The natural population of the species faces a significant threat due to human activities, thereby impacting its natural regeneration process. Therefore, the present study was carried out to predict the current suitable distribution of Aerides odorata in India using Maxent species distribution model. Output of maxent model reveal that the suitable habitat for distribution is Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, West Bengal & Odisha. Annual Precipitation & Temperature Annual range were the strongest predictors for the distribution of Aerides odorata with 37.8% & 17.2% respectively.
