Odontoglossum, first named in 1816 by Karl Sigismund Kunth, is a genus of about 100 orchids. The scientific name is derived from the Greek words odon (tooth) and glossa (tongue), referring to the two tooth-like calluses on the base of the lip. This genus of cool to cold growing orchids is to be found on open spots in the humid cloud forest at higher elevations from Central- and West South America to Guyana, with most species around the northern Andes. The abbreviation for this genus is Odm. in the horticultural trade.
× Miltonidium, abbreviated as Mtdm. in the horticultural trade, is the nothogenus for hybrids between the orchid genera Miltonia and Oncidium.
×Vuylstekeara, abbreviated as Vuyl. in horticultural trade, is an intergeneric hybrid between three orchid genera, Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum.
Aspasia, abbreviated as Asp. in the horticultural trade, is a genus of 7 species of orchids occurring from southern Mexico to southern Brazil. The genus is closely related to Miltonia and Brassia. Aspasia species have few medium size flowers of exquisite colors which are occasionally cultivated or used to produce artificial hybrids.
× Aliceara, abbreviated Alcra. in the horticultural trade, is the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between three orchid genera.
× Burrageara, abbreviated Burr. in the horticultural trade, is the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between the orchid genera Cochlioda, Miltonia, Odontoglossum and Oncidium. It was grown for the first time by the American Albert Burrage in 1927, and named after him.
