Brachionidium folsomii is a species of orchid [1] native to Central America (Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama). [2] [3]
The Pleurothallidinae are a neotropical subtribe of plants of the orchid family (Orchidaceae) including 29 genera in more than 4000 species.
The Oncidiinae is a subtribe within the Orchidaceae that consists of a number of genera that are closely related.
Brachionidium is a genus of about 72 species of orchids, found throughout much of tropical America. The generic name comes from Greek and refers to the protrusions on the stigma.
Chamelophyton is a genus of orchids. As of May 2014, only one species is known, Chamelophyton kegelii, native to Suriname and Venezuela.
Condylago is a genus of tropical orchid in the Pleurothallidinae subtribe. The name refers to the articulation of the lip which, like the genus Acostaea, is sensitive and snaps up when triggered. The type species is Condylago rodrigoi, described by Carlyle A. Luer in 1982. The leaves are up to about 4" long. Each inflorescence has many flowers and each flower may last for several months. Orchids in this genus have no pseudobulbs.
Spiranthes is a genus of orchids in the subfamily Orchidoideae. They are known commonly as ladies tresses, ladies'-tresses, or lady's tresses. The genus is distributed in the Americas, Eurasia, and Australia. The genus name Spiranthes is derived from the Greek speira ("coil") and anthos ("flower"), and was inspired by the spirally arranged inflorescence.
Campylocentrum is a genus of rare orchids native to Mexico, the West Indies, Central America and South America. One species (C. pachyrrhizum) extends its range into Florida.
The Reverend Donald D. Dod, was an American missionary and orchidologist.
Brassavola nodosa is a small, tough species of orchid native to Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and northern South America. It is also known as "lady of the night" orchid due to its citrus and gardenia-like fragrance which begins in the early evening. It has been widely hybridized and cultivated for its showy flowers and pleasing scent.
Dracula diabola is a species of orchid that only grows in a single valley in the Boyacá Department, northeast of Bogotá, Colombia. Its specific epithet, diabola, comes from diabolus, the Latin word for devil. The plant is an epiphyte growing at an altitude of 2200–2600 m in the Eastern Cordillera.
Chaubardiella is a genus of flowering plants from the Cymbidieae of the orchid family, Orchidaceae, native to Costa Rica and South America.
Telipogon is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is a large genus with dozens of species, native to South America, Central America, Hispaniola and southern Mexico.
Nidema is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It contains two known species, both native to the tropical Western Hemisphere.
Otoglossum is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae, native to South America and Central America.
Dendrobieae is a tribe in the subfamily Epidendroideae, in the family Orchidaceae.
Orchideae is a tribe of orchids in the subfamily Orchidoideae. It has been divided into two subtribes, Orchidinae and Habenariinae. The subtribe Orchidinae alone contains about 1,800 species. However, although some phylogenetic studies have established the monophyly of the subtribes, the generic boundaries are unclear, with many genera as traditionally circumscribed being paraphyletic or even polyphyletic. Species of genera such as Habenaria and Platanthera have been placed into both subtribes. A 2017 molecular phylogenetic study found that both subtribes did form clades, but did not formally recognize Habenariinae, because of missing genera and uncertainty over generic boundaries. The Asian species of Orchideae, in particular, have been subject to repeated changes of generic placement from 2012 onwards.
Podochileae is an orchid tribe in the subfamily Epidendroideae.
Leslie Andrew Garay was an American botanist. He is the retired curator of the Oakes Ames Orchid Herbarium at Harvard University, where he succeeded Charles Schweinfurth in 1958. In 1957 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Mark Alwin Clements (b. 1949) is an Australian botanist and orchidologist. He obtained his doctorate at the Australian National University defending his thesis entitled Reproductive Biology in relation to phylogeny of the Orchidaceae, especially the tribe Diurideae.
Gennaria griffithii is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native from Afghanistan to China. It is a terrestrial species, with a small tuber and small greenish flowers, found in damp places. It has a complicated taxonomic history, having been transferred between genera several times. When placed in a genus on its own it is correctly known as Dithrix griffithii. In 2015, it was transferred to the genus Gennaria.
