Jejewoodia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Orchidaceae. It is native to Borneo. [1]
Epiphytic herbs. Has a stem that grows up to about 20 cm (8 in) long which is simple or branching. It has rooting at base and is leafy. The leaves are distichous (arranged in two opposite rows), ensiform (shaped like the blade) and flattened. The inflorescence (flower) is lateral, axillary and borne from upper portion of stems. It is one-flowered (per stem), sometimes four or five flowers open simultaneously in succession per stem. The floral bracts are less than 1/8 the length of pedicel (stalk of a flower) and brownish in colour. The flowers are up to 1 cm in diameter and usually opening widely. The sepals and petals are white, less often yellow or greenish yellow. The labellum (lip) is white, sometimes with a yellow central patch at base of mid-lobe. The sepals and petals are free (unattached) and spreading. The sepals are narrowly elliptic and acute in shape. The petals are broadly elliptic and obtuse or narrowly oblong and subacute in shape. The labellum is tri-lobed, pandurate (shaped like a fiddle), spurred or slightly saccate. It is constricted near middle and hypochile (hood-shaped portion) is canaliculate (channelled) and thickened at the margins. The margins are erect, epichile (the upper part of the jointed lip) is transversely elliptic and emarginate with a broadly triangular tooth in sinus, or rounded and thick. The spur (when present) is narrow and shallowly conical, with an entrance glabrous (plain). The column foot is absent. The anther is apically elongated, with 4 pollinia (a coherent mass of pollen grains) and ovoid, unequal, viscidium transversely elliptic, the stipe is linear. The rostellum (beak) is finger-like. [1]
The genus name of Jejewoodia is in honour of Jeffrey James Wood (b. 1952), an English botanist at Kew Gardens and a specialist in orchids. [2] It was first described and published in Fragm. Florist. Geobot., Suppl. Vol.3 on page 135 in 1995. [1]

In the botanical classification of plants, Aeridinae Pfitzer is a subtribe of the tribe Vandeae whose representatives all have a monopodial growth habit and do not possess pseudobulbs.
Anoectochilus, commonly known as marbled jewel orchids or filigree orchids, is a genus of about fifty species in the orchid family Orchidaceae. They are terrestrial herbs with a creeping rhizome, an upright flowering stem and dark coloured leaves with contrasting veins. The flowers are relatively large and have a large labellum, markedly different from the sepals and petals.
Thrixspermum trichoglottis is a monopodial orchid in the subfamily Epidendroideae. It is widespread across the eastern Himalayas, Yunnan, Indochina, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Malaysia and western Indonesia.
Crepidium, commonly known as 沼兰属 or spur orchids is a genus of about three hundred species of orchids in the family Orchidaceae. Plants in this genus are evergreen, mostly terrestrial plants with short stems lying on the ground, two or more relatively large, pleated leaves and small, non-resupinate flowers with spreading sepals and petals. The genus is widely distributed in the tropics.
Cylindrolobus is a genus of orchids with about 80 species that grow in New Guinea, Wallacea, Southeast Asia, southern China, and India.
Chiloschista, commonly known as starfish orchids and abbreviated Chsch., is a genus of usually leafless, epiphytic or lithophytic orchids found in India, Southeast Asia and Australia.
Trichoglottis, commonly known as cherub orchids or 毛舌兰属 , is a genus of flowering plants in the family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are epiphytic plants with thick roots, relatively thick, fibrous stems and many large, thick, leathery leaves arranged in two ranks. The flowers are usually small and yellowish with light brown or purple markings. The flowers have broad sepals, narrower petals and a labellum which has three lobes and is often hairy. There are about 85 species distributed from tropical and subtropical Asia to the north-western Pacific. Most species grow in rainforest.
Oncidium alexandrae, synonyms including Odontoglossum crispum, is an epiphytic orchid in the genus Oncidium. Known as the curled odontoglossum, it is considered by many to be the most beautiful orchid of all but is also one of the most difficult to grow.
Epidendrum microphyllum is a species of tropical orchid in the genus Epidendrum with non-resupinate flowers.
Cattleya maxima is a species of orchid in subfamily Epidendroideae found from Ecuador to Peru.
Neottia convallarioides is a species of orchid known by the common names broad-lipped twayblade and broad-leaved twayblade. It was formerly placed in the genus Listera, but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that Neottia nidus-avis, the bird's-nest orchid, evolved within the same group, and all species of Listera have been moved to Neottia.
Epidendrum excisum is a species of orchid known to grow both epiphytically and terrestrially on steep rocky banks in mountainous regions of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. It has been reported at altitudes from 2.4 km to 2.8 km.
Cattleya rex is a species of epiphytic orchid of showy white flowers, native to montane forests in Peru and Bolivia.
Micropera, commonly known as dismal orchids or 小囊兰属 is a genus of about twenty species of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Plants in this genus are large epiphytes with thick roots, long, fibrous stems, linear leaves and whitish or yellow, non-resupinate flowers. The sepals and petals are similar to each other and the labellum is shoe-shaped or sac-like and has three lobes. It is found from Tibet to tropical Asia and the western Pacific Ocean.
Microsaccus is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia.
Ophrys scolopax, known as the woodcock bee-orchid or woodcock orchid, is a species of terrestrial orchid found around the Mediterranean and the Middle East, from Morocco and Portugal to Hungary and Iran.
Chiloschista segawae is a species of leafless epiphytic or orchid that forms clumps with many radiating, flattened green roots. Up to fifteen, whitish green or yellow flowers are arranged along a pendulous flowering stem. It grows on trees in forest on Taiwan.
Pseudovanilla foliata, commonly known as the great climbing orchid, is a plant in the orchid family native to Queensland, New South Wales, and New Guinea. It is a terrestrial orchid with a vining vegetative habit, climbing by means of adventitious roots produced at nodes. Its leaves are reduced, and the species is considered to be at least partially mycoheterotrophic.
Phalaenopsis difformis, also known as the dark brown Phalaenopsis, is a species of epiphytic orchid native to Assam, Borneo, China South-Central, China Southeast, East Himalaya, Laos, Malaya, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sumatera, Thailand, Vietnam and West Himalaya.
Phalaenopsis kapuasensis, also known as the Kapuas Hulu Phalaenopsis, is a species of orchid endemic to Borneo. The specific epithet kapuasensis refers to the indonesian locality Kapuas Hulu, from which the type specimen was obtained.
