Pleurothallidinae
The Pleurothallidinae are a neotropical subtribe of plants of the orchid family (Orchidaceae) including 29 genera in more than 4000 species. Naturally occurring species of this subtribe are among the more popular orchids of horticulturalists, especially the genera ''Dracula'', ''Dryadella'', ''Masdevallia'' and ''Restrepia''. The following genera are considered monophyletic : '' Barbosella'' (including '' Barbrodia''), ''Dracula'', '' Dresslerella'', '' Dryadella'', ''Lepanthes'', ''Masdevallia'', '' Platystele'', '' Porroglossum'', '' Restrepia'', '' Scaphosepalum'', '' Trisetella'', and '' Zootrophion''. Many genera in the Pleurothallidinae were found polyphyletic, for example species attributed to the genus ''Pleurothallis ''are scattered across five clades. Genera Genera recognized in Chase et al.'s 2015 classification of orchids: ''Acianthera'' – '' Anathallis'' – '' Andinia'' – '' Barbosella'' – ''Brachionidium'' – '' Chamelophyton'' – '' Dilomilis'' – '' ...

Dracula (plant)
The orchid genus ''Dracula'', abbreviated as Drac in horticultural trade, consists of 118 species native to Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The name ''Dracula'' literally means "little dragon", an allusion to the mythical Count Dracula, a lead character in numerous vampire novels and films. The name was applied to the orchid because of the blood-red color of several of the species, and the strange aspect of the long spurs of the sepals. The plants were once included in the genus ''Masdevallia'', but became a separate genus in 1978. This genus has been placed in the subtribe Pleurothallidinae. Description They are epiphytic and terrestrial species distributed in Central America and the northwest Andes. Almost half the species are found in Ecuador. They prefer shade and rather cool temperatures. These caespitose orchids grow in tufts from a short rhizome, with a dense pack of stems. They lack pseudobulbs.
