Karma is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It includes 74 species native to the tropical Americas, ranging from southern Mexico through Central America, the Caribbean, and tropical South America to Bolivia and southern Brazil. [2]
74 species are accepted. [2]
Octomeria is a plant genus belonging to the family Orchidaceae. The genus comprises about 150 species native to the Neotropics, mostly in Brazil.
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.
Dryadella is a genus of miniature orchids, formerly included in the genus Masdevallia. Plants are typically composed of a tuft of leaves from 3 to 6 cm long. The small (1–2 cm) flowers are often conspicuously spotted, and are borne at the base of the leaves. There are about 60 species, distributed from southern Mexico to southern Brazil and northern Argentina. In cultivation many of the species seem to respond well to being grown on cork or treefern rather than in pots. The attractive species Dryadella edwallii, commonly known as 'Partridge in the Grass' can be easily grown into a spectacular specimen plant, full of flowers. The genus name of Dryadella refers to Dryad, a tree nymph or tree spirit in Greek mythology.
Lepanthopsis, abbreviated as Lpths in horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids with about 43 currently known species. They are distributed mostly in the Andes and the Caribbean, with some species in Central America, southern Mexico and Florida. Lepanthopsis orchids are very small, often with flowers measuring less than 1 centimeter across.
Andreettaea is a genus of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to southern Mexico, the West Indies and tropical South America. The genus was established in 1978. Some sources treat the genus as a synonym of Pleurothallis.
Kraenzlinella is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae, first described as a genus in 1903. It is native to S Mexico, Central America, and South America.
Phloeophila is a genus of orchids belonging to the tribe Pleurothallidinae. While an initial molecular phylogeny in 2013 suggested that the type species of the genus was nested within Pabstiella, further sampling showed that it in fact belongs to a unique clade distant from Pabstiella, forming the current basis of the genus.
Specklinia is a genus of orchids native to South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. It contains approximately 100 species.
Ponthieva is a genus in the orchid family (Orchidaceae), commonly known as the shadow witch. They are named after Henry de Ponthieu, an English merchant of Huguenot ancestry who sent West Indian plant collections to Sir Joseph Banks in 1778.
Acianthera is a genus of orchids native to the tropical parts of the Western Hemisphere, especially Brazil. It was first described in 1842 but was not widely recognized until recently. Most of the species were formerly placed under Pleurothallis subgenus Acianthera. This splitting is a result of recent DNA sequencing.
Trichosalpinx, commonly known as the bonnet orchid, is a genus of neotropical orchids containing 38 species. The genus is widespread across most of Latin America from northern Mexico to Bolivia, as well as the West Indies.
Ornithocephalus is a genus of orchids comprising more than 50 known species widespread in South America, Central America, Southern Mexico, Trinidad and the Windward Islands.
