Laelia anceps is a species of orchid found in Mexico and Guatemala. [1]
Laelia albida is the most northerly-growing laelia in Mexico. This epiphytic orchid bears ten or more small (5 cm) pale pink flowers on a half-meter terminal inflorescence in late winter to early spring. It is cold-tolerant close to freezing in the winter and needs to be kept dry until new vegetative growth is seen in late spring. It seems to do much better mounted on cork or hardwood than potted.
Coilostylis ciliaris, formerly Epidendrum ciliare, is a species of orchid in the genus Coilostylis. It was transferred from Epidendrum by Withner and Harding in 2004. It is the type species of the genus Coilostylis.
Epidendrum magnoliae, sometimes called Epidendrum conopseum or the green-fly orchid, is a species of orchid in the genus Epidendrum. It is the most northern-growing epiphytic orchid in North America, being found wild in the southeastern United States from Louisiana to North Carolina, and also in northeastern Mexico.
Epidendrum nocturnum is the type species of the genus Epidendrum of the Orchidaceae . The species occurs in Florida, Bahamas, West Indies, Belize, Central America to northern Brazil and the Guyanas. Epidendrum nocturnum is common in South Florida.
Brassavola cucullata, common name daddy long-legs orchid, is a species of orchid native to Mexico, Belize, Central America, the West Indies and northern South America.
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.
Brassavola tuberculata is a species of orchid native to Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil.
Cattleya gaskelliana is a labiate Cattleya species of orchid. The diploid chromosome number of C. gaskelliana has been determined as 2n = 40.
Cattleya granulosa is a bifoliate Cattleya species of orchid. It is endemic to Brazil; the type specimen was reported to come from Guatemala, but this is likely erroneous. The diploid chromosome number of C. granulosa has been determined as 2n = 40.
Cattleya guttata is a bifoliate Cattleya species of orchid. The diploid chromosome number of C. guttata has been determined as 2n = 40.
Cattleya harrisoniana is a bifoliate Cattleya species of orchid. The diploid chromosome number of C. harrisoniana has been determined as 2n = 40. The haploid chromosome number of C. harrisoniana has been determined as n = 20.
Cattleya intermedia, the intermediate cattleya, is a bifoliate Cattleya species of orchid. The diploid chromosome number of C. intermedia has been determined as 2n = 40.
Cattleya lueddemanniana is a labiate Cattleya species of orchid. The diploid chromosome number of C. lueddemanniana has been determined as 2n = 40.
Cattleya mossiae, commonly known as easter orchid, is a species of labiate Cattleya orchid. The white-flowered form is sometimes known as Cattleya wagneri. The diploid chromosome number of C. mossiae has been determined as 2n = 40. The haploid chromosome number has been determined as n = 20.
Cattleya percivaliana is a species of orchid. It shares the common name of "Christmas Orchid" with C. trianae and Angraecum sesquipedale. The diploid chromosome number of C. percivaliana has been determined as 2n = 40. The haploid chromosome number has been determined as n = 20.
Cattleya tigrina is a bifoliate species of Cattleya orchid. The diploid chromosome number of C. tigrina has been determined as 2n = 40.
Cattleya walkeriana, or Walker's cattleya, is a species of orchid. It differs from most species of Cattleya by having inflorescences which arise from the rhizome instead of from the apex of the pseudobulb. In its native habitat it grows as either an epiphyte or a lithophyte, sometimes in full sun. Pseudobulbs are relatively short, bulbous or fusiform, with one or two ovate leaves at the apex. Inflorescence is one- or few-flowered, about 8" (20 cm) tall. Flowers are 4-5" (9-12 cm) across.
Cattleya warneri is a labiate Cattleya species of orchid. The diploid chromosome number of C. warneri has been determined as 2n = 40.
Cattleya warscewiczii, a labiate Cattleya, is a species of orchid.
Guarianthe aurantiaca is a species of orchid. It is widespread across much of Mexico, south to Costa Rica. The diploid chromosome number of G. aurantiaca has been determined as 2n = 40.
