Ansellia
''Ansellia'' is considered a monotypic genus of orchid, with only one species, ''Ansellia africana'', commonly known as African ansellia or leopard orchid, however, it may in fact be a complex group of species which share common floral structure and growth habit. The plants are found throughout tropical and subtropical Africa. It was named after John Ansell, an English assistant botanist. who found the first specimens in 1841 on the Fernando Po Island in West Africa. This genus is sometimes abbreviated as Ansel or Aslla in horticultural trade. It is referred to along with '' Grammatophyllum'' as a "trash basket" orchid due to its habit of creating a makeshift container of aerial roots to catch falling leaf litter for nutrients.The Orchids, Natural History and Classification, Robert L. Dressler. Distribution and habitat This orchid is native to tropical and southern Africa, found alongside coasts and rivers in the canopy of trees, usually at elevations lower than (occasio ...

''Claderia'' is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae.

Oeceoclades
''Oeceoclades'', collectively known as the monk orchids, is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is related to ''Eulophia'' and like that genus is mostly terrestrial in habit. A few species extend into very arid environments, unusual for an orchid. The genus contains about 40 known species, most of which are narrow endemics to parts of Madagascar with some widespread across much of sub-Saharan Africa and the islands of the Indian Ocean. One species, '' O. maculata'', has become naturalized in Mexico, South America, Central America, the West Indies and Florida. In Florida and several other places, ''O. maculata'' is considered an invasive weed. The only consistent morphological character that does not show intermediate forms in either genus and can thus separate ''Oeceoclades'' from ''Eulophia'' is the presence of two fleshy ridges on the basal part of the labellum (the hypochile). The genus was resurrected by Leslie Andrew Garay and Peter Tay ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Imerinaea
''Imerinaea'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. The single species is ''Imerinaea madagascarica'' and is endemic to northern Madagascar. It is lithophilic and grows in shady areas under trees among mosses and lichens.

Paralophia (plant)
''Eulophia'', commonly known as corduroy orchids, is a genus of about two hundred species of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Most ''Eulophia'' orchids are terrestrial but some are deciduous while others are evergreen. They either have an underground rhizome or pseudobulbs on the surface and those species with leaves have them on the end of a fleshy stem. The flowers are arranged on a thin flowering spike, the flowers having sepals which are larger than the petals. The genus is widely distributed but most species are found in Africa and Asia, usually growing in shady places with grass or shrubs in forests. Description Orchids in the genus ''Eulophia'' are mostly terrestrial herbs with either an underground rhizome or pseudobulbs on the surface. The only two epiphytic species occur on Madagascar. Many species have no leaves, but when leaves are present they are long and narrow, sometimes pleated. The flowers are borne on a flowering stem which sometimes appears b ...

Orthochilus
''Orthochilus'' is a genus of orchids that consists of at least 34 species, most of which are native to Africa and Madagascar with a few species in tropical and subtropical America. The genus was first formally described in 1850 by the French botanist Achille Richard, who cited an earlier suggestion by the German botanist Christian Ferdinand Friedrich Hochstetter. Richard recognized a single species, '' Orthochilus abyssinicus'', and noted that the genus shared many features with the closely related genus ''Eulophia'', but differed from it in the form of the pollen masses and caudicule, a stalk to which the pollen masses are attached. The genus ''Orthochilus'' has often been viewed as a synonym of the larger genus ''Eulophia'' by many botanists, but a recent molecular phylogeny published in 2014 revealed that ''Eulophia'', as traditionally circumscribed, was paraphyletic unless ''Orthochilus'' was recognized as a separate genus.Martos, F., S.D.

Geodorum
''Geodorum'', commonly known as shepherds' crooks or 地宝兰属 (di bao lan shu), is a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. They are deciduous, Terrestrial plant, terrestrial Herbaceous plant, herbs with underground pseudobulbs, broad, wikt:pleat, pleated leaves and small to medium-sized, tube-shaped or bell-shaped flowers on a flowering stem with a drooping end. Species in this genus are found in southern Japan, tropical Asia, Australia and islands of the southwest Pacific Ocean. Description Orchids in the genus ''Geodorum'' are deciduous, terrestrial herbs with pseudobulbs underground but close to the surface. There are several pleated leaves emerging from the pseudobulb, the largest at the top. Each leaf has a stalk which wraps around those below it. The flower stalk also emerges from the pseudobulb and bears a few to many bell-shaped or tubular flowers. The sepals and petals are similar in size and shape and do not spread widely apar ...
