Eulophia mechowii is a species of orchid. It is native from Nigeria to Western Ethiopia and South Africa.[1] In 2014, it was proposed that it should be transferred to the genus Orthochilus as Orthochilus mechowii.[2] As of December 2023[update], Plants of the World Online did not accept the transfer.[1]
