The species of this genus are tropical epiphytes with a pendent or erect habit. The leaves may be terete or broad. Both types of leaves may occur on the same specimen, as some species exhibit leaf polymorphy. [5] Three species have blue flowers, [6] but other colours, such as pink and white also occur.

Cytology

The diploid chromosome count is 2n = 38. [7]

Etymology

The generic name is derived from the Greek kleistos meaning closed, [8] as well as kentron meaning spur. [6] [8] The name relates to the morphology of the spurred labellum. [5]

Ecology

Pollination

There have been reports of pollination or visitation by ants, which was observed during field expeditions in Borneo. [9] [10] Alternatively, there have been speculations, that the nectariferous flowers are pollinated by butterflies. [6]

Taxonomy

It was published by Paul Johannes Brühl in 1926 [1] [11] with Cleisocentron trichromum(Rchb. f.) Brühl as the type species. [1]

Eight species are currently recognized: [12]

  1. Cleisocentron abasii Cavestro - Sabah

Horticulture

Cleisocentron is rarely found in cultivation. [8] [5] However, they are easy to cultivate. [8] Numerous intergeneric hybrids with Cleisocentron have been described. [11]
