Malaxideae
Malaxideae is an orchid tribe in the subfamily Epidendroideae. Taxonomy In their 2015 review of Orchidaceae taxonomy, Chase and colleagues divided the tribe into two subtribes, Malaxidinae and Dendrobiinae. The latter is treated as a tribe by some authors. The subtribes included the following genera: * Subtribe Malaxidinae ** ''Alatiliparis'' ** ''Crepidium'' ** ''Crossoglossa'' ** ''Crossoliparis'' ** ''Dienia'' ** ''Hammarbya'' ** ''Hippeophyllum'' ** ''Liparis (plant), Liparis'' ** ''Malaxis'' ** ''Oberonia'' ** ''Oberonioides'' ** ''Orestias (plant), Orestias'' ** ''Stichorkis'' ** ''Tamayorkis'' * Subtribe Dendrobiinae ** ''Dendrobium'' ** ''Bulbophyllum ''Risleya'' was previously included, but is now placed in the tribe Collabieae.

Dendrobiinae
Dendrobieae is a tribe in the subfamily Epidendroideae, in the family Orchidaceae. The ''Dendrobieae'' are mostly tropical, epiphytic orchids which contain pseudobulbs. The tribe contains two genera, ''Dendrobium'' and ''Bulbophyllum'', which are both among the largest genera of orchids, and are common in cultivation. Previously, other genera were included in the tribe, which are now subsumed in ''Dendrobium'' and ''Bulbophyllum''. Features ''Dendrobieae'' are mostly small, epiphytic orchids. The roots are covered by velamen. There are usually pseudobulbs present, with leaves at the top; sometimes the species lacks pseudobulbs and the leaves are spread across the stem or the plant is leafless. The flowers are terminal or axillary and spread across the stalk. The gynostemium is firm, with a clear foot. The anther is bent. The two or four pollinia are naked, they contain no viscidium, just like the ''Malaxideae''. Distribution ''Dendrobieae'' have a pantropical distributi ...

Epidendroideae
Epidendroideae is a subfamily of plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Epidendroideae is larger than all the other orchid subfamilies together, comprising more than 15,000 species in 576 genera. Most epidendroid orchids are tropical epiphytes, typically with pseudobulbs. There are, however, some terrestrials such as '' Epipactis'' and even a few myco-heterotrophs, which are parasitic upon mycorrhizal fungi. They typically contain the remaining orchids with a single, fertile anther ( = monandrous), which is also fully incumbent ( = strongly convex) to suberect (= ascending towards the edges). The anther form arises from column elongation or, as in the vandoids, from early anther bending. The incumbent anther forms a right angle with the column axis or is pointed backward in many genera. Most have hard pollinia, i.e. a mass of waxy pollen or of coherent pollen grains. The pollinia are with caudicle and viscidium or without. The stigma are entire or three-lobed; a beak is ...

Malaxis
''Malaxis'', commonly called adder's mouth, is a genus of terrestrial and semiepiphytic orchid Orchids are plants that belong to the family Orchidaceae (), a diverse and widespread group of flowering plants with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant. Orchids are cosmopolitan plants that are found in almost every habitat on Eart ...s. The generic name signifies "smooth" and alludes to the tender texture of the leaves. There are approximately 182 species, found mostly in tropics but with some species in temperate regions. ;Species References Malaxideae genera Taxa named by Olof Swartz {{Epidendroideae-stub ...

Taxonomy Of The Orchidaceae
The taxonomy of the Orchidaceae ( orchid family) has evolved slowly during the last 250 years, starting with Carl Linnaeus who in 1753 recognized eight genera.Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné). 1753. ''Species Plantarum'', 1st edition, vol. 2, pages 939-954. Holmiae: Impensis Laurentii Salvii (Lars Salvius). (A facsimile with an introduction by William T. Stearn was published by the Ray Society in 1957). (See ''External links'' below). De Jussieu recognized the Orchidaceae as a separate family in his Genera Plantarum in 1789.Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. 1789. "ORCHIDEAE" pages 64-66. In: ''Genera plantarum: secundum ordines naturales disposita'' (See ''External links'' below). Olof Swartz recognized 25 genera in 1800.Olof Swartz. 1800. "Afhandling om Orchidernes Slägter och deras Systematiska indelning". ''Kongliga vetenskaps academiens nya handlingar'' 21:115-139. (See ''External links'' below).

Tamayorkis
''Tamayorkis'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Orchidaceae. Its native range is from Arizona and New Mexico to Texas, USA and also Mexico and Guatemala in South America.

Oberonia
''Oberonia'', commonly known as fairy orchids, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are epiphytic or lithophytic plants with the leaves arranged fan-like, overlapping at the base and spreading near the tips. Large numbers of tiny, short-lived, cup-shaped, non-resupinate flowers are arranged on an arching flowering stem that emerges from the base of the uppermost leaf. There are about 270 species occurring from tropical and southern Africa to the Pacific. Description Orchids in the genus ''Oberonia'' are epiphytic or lithophytic, sympodial herbs with the leaves in an unusual fan-like arrangement, in two overlapping rows near the base before spreading. A large number of tiny, non-resupinate, short-lived flowers are arranged in whorls or spirals along an arching flowering stem. The sepals and petals are all more or less similar to and free from each other although the petals are narrower than the sepals. The labellum is rigidly fixed to ...
