Loefgrenianthus
''Loefgrenianthus blanche-amesiae'' is a showy orchid species, inhabitant of Serra do Mar mountains in Brazilian southeast. It is the only species of the monotypic genus ''Loefgrenianthus''. It can be differentiated from its closest genus, '' Leptotes'', both because of its pending vegetation with flat leaves and the flowers which have a saccate labellum. ''Loefgrenianthus blanche-amesiae'' is highly appreciated by orchid collectors. Distribution and habit ''Loefgrenianthus blanche-amesiae'' is a small epiphytic species which inhabits the highest areas of Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Paraná States of Brazil,: ''Orchidaceae Brasilienses vol. 1'' p. 148.

Leptotes (plant)
''Leptotes'', abbreviated Lpt in horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids formed by nine small species that grow in the dry jungles of south and southeast Brazil, and also in Paraguay or Argentina. They are small epiphytic plants of caespitose growth that sometimes resemble little ''Brassavola'', as they share the same type of thin terete leaves, though they are more closely related to ''Loefgrenianthus''. Some species of ''Leptotes'' are widely cultivated and form showy displays when completely in bloom although they are not among the easiest to grow. The majority of the species are not cultivated and some are so rare to be almost unknown; five of the nine species have been described since 2000. Besides being cultivated for their ornamental value, there are records of the flowers and fruits of ''Leptotes bicolor'' being used as a substitute for vanilla in milk, ice cream, tea and candy, candies.
