Pelatantheria is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Its species are distributed across China, Japan, the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. [1] [2] [3]
Pelatantheria is not commonly found in cultivation and this genus is rarely used in hybridisation. As of February 2022, 11 hybrids have been registered in the International Orchid Register of the Royal Horticultural Society.
Typhonium is a genus in the family Araceae native to eastern and southern Asia, New Guinea, and Australia. It is most often found growing in wooded areas.
Tainia, commonly known as ribbon orchids or 带唇兰属 is a genus of about thirty species of evergreen, terrestrial orchids in the distributed from India, China, Japan, Southeast Asia to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Queensland.
Lecanorchis is a genus of orchids belonging to the subfamily Vanilloideae.
Odontochilus is a small genus from the orchid family (Orchidaceae). These terrestrial, mycoparasitic orchids occur from China, Japan, the Himalayas, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Melanesia. The genus is related to Gonatostylis, endemic to New Caledonia.
Holcoglossum (Holc.) is a genus of orchids, in the family Orchidaceae. It is native from Assam through mainland China to Taiwan and Indo-China.
Hemipilia is a genus of plants in the family Orchidaceae. It is native to China, the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.
Panisea is a genus of plant in family Orchidaceae. It is native to China, the Indian Subcontinent, and Indochina.
Ponerorchis is a genus of Asian terrestrial tuberous orchids. It is native to temperate Eurasia, from Poland to Japan, to the north of the Indian subcontinent and to northern Indochina.
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.
Myrmechis is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is native to eastern and southeastern Asia from the Kuril Islands south to New Guinea, west to the Himalayas.
Peristylus, sometimes commonly known as ogre orchids or bog orchids is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It consists of over 100 known species found across much of eastern and southern Asia as well as in Australia and on many islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Pomatocalpa, commonly known as bladder orchids, or 鹿角兰属 , is a genus of about twenty five species from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Plants in this genus are epiphytes or lithophytes with thick, leathery leaves and a large number of small flowers with a three-lobed labellum. There are about twenty five species found from tropical and subtropical Asia to the south-west Pacific.
Pteroceras is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is native to China, the Indian Subcontinent, and Southeast Asia.
Sarcoglyphis is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia, the Himalayas and southern China.
Schoenorchis, commonly known as flea orchids, or 匙唇兰属 in Chinese, is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Plants in this genus are small epiphytes with thin roots, thin leafy stems with leaves in two ranks and tiny fragrant, almost tube-shaped flowers with a prominently spurred labellum. There are about twenty five species found from tropical and subtropical Asia to the Western Pacific.
Spatholirion is a genus of climbing or rosette monocotyledonous flowering plants in the dayflower family. It is distributed from China in the north, south to Thailand, Vietnam, and northern Peninsular Malaysia. It has four to eight seeds per carpel, unlike the closely related Streptolirion, which has only two, and white or purple petals. The inflorescence axis of Spatholirion longifolium and all of its branches are a bright purple, probably aiding in visual pollinator attraction. The genus was first described in 1896 by Henry Nicholas Ridley, the father of the commercial rubber industry, from plants sent to Kew Gardens from the Malay Peninsula near the border between Thailand and Malaysia. All species have a diploid chromosome number of 20.
Tupistra is a genus of about 20 species of flowering plants found in south Asia, from southern China to Sumatra and Ambon Island. In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae.
Rhomboda, commonly known as velvet jewel orchids, is a genus of about twenty species of flowering plants in the orchid family Orchidaceae. Plants in this genus are mostly terrestrial herbs with a fleshy, creeping rhizome and a loose rosette of green to maroon coloured leaves. Small resupinate or partly resupinate, dull coloured flowers are borne on a hairy flowering stem. The dorsal sepal and petals overlap and form a hood over the column and there is a deep pouch at the base of the labellum. They are found in tropical regions from northern India through Southeast Asia, China, Japan to Australia and some Pacific Islands.
Pelatantheria ctenoglossum is a species of epiphytic or lithophytic orchid occurring in China, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. This species closely resembles Pelatantheria bicuspidata both in its vegetative and generative morphology. It can also be easily confused with Pelatantheria woonchengii. The main difference lies in the morphology of the labellum. The specific epithet "ctenoglossum", meaning "comb tongue", refers to the comb like epergencies of the distal portion of the labellum. The stems are erect and rigid and bear fleshy, lanceolate and unequally bilobed leaves. The sepals are ovate, obtuse and have red striations on a yellow base colour. The labellum is fleshy and three-lobed. The column bears tufted white hairs at its base. The chromosome count is 2n = 38.
Pelatantheria scolopendrifolia is a species of epiphytic or lithophytic orchid occurring in China, Japan and Korea. The plants closely adhere to the substrate and are creeping. The commonly branched, very slender stem bears distichously arranged, subcylindrical, leathery leaves. One to two widely opening flowers are produced on a short raceme, which is usually shorter than the leaves. The flowers are thinly textured and pale flesh-coloured. The labellum is spurred.
