Pleurothallis is a genus of orchids commonly called bonnet orchids. The genus name is derived from the Greek word pleurothallos, meaning "riblike branches". This refers to the rib-like stems of many species. The genus is often abbreviated as "Pths" in horticultural trade.
Stelis, or leach orchids, is a large genus of orchids, with perhaps 500 species. The generic name Stelis is the Greek word for 'mistletoe', referring to the epiphytic habit of these species. These mainly epiphytic plants are widely distributed throughout much of South America, Central America, Mexico, the West Indies and Florida.
Barbosella is a genus of mostly creeping orchids. The genus has about 20 species, widespread across the West Indies and Latin America from Mexico and the Lesser Antilles to Argentina. Named after João Barbosa Rodrigues, an investigator of Brazilian orchids. They have solitary flowers with a unique lip base that works like a ball and socket.
Condylago is a genus of tropical orchid in the Pleurothallidinae subtribe. The name refers to the articulation of the lip which, like the genus Acostaea, is sensitive and snaps up when triggered. The type species is Condylago rodrigoi, described by Carlyle A. Luer in 1982. The leaves are up to about 4" long. Each inflorescence has many flowers and each flower may last for several months. Orchids in this genus have no pseudobulbs.
Lepanthes is a large genus of orchids with about 800–1000 species, distributed in the Antilles and from Mexico through Bolivia. The genus is abbreviated in horticultural trade as Lths. Almost all the species in the genus are small and live in cloud forests. Babyboot orchid is a common name.
Pabstiella is a small orchid genus belonging to the subfamily Epidendroideae. They occur in Central and Tropical America.
