Cymbilabia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Orchidaceae.

Contents

Taxonomy

The genus was established in 2020, [1] as a result of the discovery of the paraphyletic nature of the genus Vandopsis as then circumscribed. Vandopsis would not have formed a monophyletic group with the inclusion of Cymbilabia undulata. [2]

Species

As of January 2023, Plants of the World Online accepted the following species: [3]

Distribution

Species of Cymbilabia are native from the Himalayas to China (west and south Yunnan) and northern Indo-China. [3]

<i>Phalaenopsis</i> Genus of orchids

Phalaenopsis, also known as moth orchids, is a genus of about seventy species of plants in the family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end. Orchids in this genus are native to Asia, New Guinea, and Australia, but mostly occur in Indonesia and the Philippines.

<i>Cymbidium</i> Genus of flowering plants in the orchid family Orchidaceae

Cymbidium, commonly known as boat orchids, is a genus of evergreen flowering plants in the orchid family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are epiphytic, lithophytic, terrestrial or rarely leafless saprophytic herbs usually with pseudobulbs. There are usually between three and twelve leaves arranged in two ranks on each pseudobulb or shoot and lasting for several years. From one to a large number of flowers are arranged on an unbranched flowering stem arising from the base of the pseudobulb. The sepals and petals are all free from and similar to each other. The labellum is significantly different from the other petals and the sepals and has three lobes. There are about fifty-five species and sixteen further natural hybrids occurring in the wild from tropical and subtropical Asia to Australia. Cymbidiums are well known in horticulture and many cultivars have been developed. The genome of Cymbidium mannii has been sequenced to study epiphytism and crassulacean acid metabolism.
