The region of Dadia, in Thrace, is of exceptional biological conservation interest. Research designed to develop bio-diversity assessment methodologies was conducted in parts of it for two years. It focused, in particular, on the link between habitat types and the distribution of species richness for a number of bio-indicator groups, of which orchids was one. The paper summarises orchid observations collected in the course of the field work and considers their habitat preference and their particular conservation requirements.
