Cylindrolobus
''Cylindrolobus'' is a genus of orchids with about 80 species that grow in New Guinea, Wallacea, Southeast Asia, southern China, and India. Description These herbs are epiphytic, but also rarely terrestrial. The elongate stems are slender and usually not pseudobulbous (though some species do possess a few terminal internodes, sometimes slightly swollen), with leaves along the entire length, except for some nodes at the base where persistent leaf sheaths have formed, or with some leaves towards the end/apex. The leathery leaves are alternate, conduplicate, and their shape can be linear-oblanceolate, or either narrowly elliptic or ovate. The leaves articulate to a sheathing base that tightly envelopes the stem. The usually short or slender inflorescences occur either laterally on many nodes or come from the terminal node of the stem, and have only 1 or 2-3 flowers. The peduncle is usually very much reduced. The few floral bracts are spirally arranged (in a few species they are cons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
