Clowesia
''Clowesia'' is a genus of the family Orchidaceae. Species of this genus are epiphytic and contain many pseudobulbs with several internodes. The leaves of this plant are arranged alternatively in two vertical rows on opposite sides of the rachis. ''Clowesia'' has a simple gullet flower that allows for pollination by male euglossine bees. The flowers are often unisexual and contain a viscidium. Species Seven species of this genus are currently recognized, all native to southern Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Hybrids ''Clowesia'' is in the subtribe Catasetinae, and can be hybridized with the genus ''Catasetum ''Catasetum'', abbreviated as Ctsm. in horticultural trade, is a genus of showy epiphytic Orchids, family Orchidaceae, subfamily Epidendroideae, tribe Cymbidieae, subtribe Catasetinae, with 166 species, many of which are highly prized in horticu ...'', giving ''Clowesetum''.

Catasetinae Genera
Catasetinae is a subtribe within the Orchidaceae and contains 8 genera.Batista, J.A.N., A.C.M. Mota, K. Proite, L.D.B. Bianchetti, G.A. Romero-González, H.M.H. Espinoza, and G.A. Salazar. 2014Molecular phylogenetics of Neotropical ''Cyanaeorchis'' (Cymbidieaee, Epidendroideae, Orchidaceae): geographical rather than morphological similarities plus a new species.''Phytotaxa'', 156(5): 251-272. Its members are widespread in lowland tropical Central and South America up to 1,500 meters. They are found on trees, stumps or old fence posts. Catasetinae are exclusively pollinated by male euglossine bees, which are attracted to the floral fragrances, and collect them. A particular Catasetinae species may attract only one or a few species of bees from the dozens that occur in the habitat.Williams & Whitten 1983 Genera * ''Catasetum'' (80–120 species) * ''Clowesia'' (7 species) * ''Cyanaeorchis'' (3 species) * ''Cycnoches'' (some 30 species) * ''Dressleria'' (10 species) * ''Galeandra'' ...
