Stanhopeinae
Stanhopeinae is a subtribe of plants in the tribe Cymbidieae. The subtribe in the strict sense, have viscidia and stipes that are thin and strap-like, they are adapted for attachment to edge of the bee's scutellum or to a leg. Pseudobulbs are usually ribbed/four-angled or flattened. Leaves are generally thicker than Coeliopsidinae. Roots are smooth, without prominent root hairs. The column foot is lacking or not distinct. Unpollinated flowers quickly abscise and fall from the inflorescence, unlike members of Coeliopsidinae which include ''Coeliopsis'', ''Lycomormium'', and ''Peristeria (plant), Peristeria''. Stanhopeinae and Coeliopsidinae are now considered closely related sister subtribes. Within Stanhopeinae the members can be further grouped in six clades based on morphological traits and molecular analysis. *''Braemia'' Clade: ''Braemia'' *''Gongora'' Clade: ''Cirrhaea'' & ''Gongora'' *''Acineta'' Clade: ''Acineta'', ''Lacaena'', ''Lueddemannia'' & ''Vasqueziella'' *''Polycy ...

Stanhopea
''Stanhopea'' is a genus of the orchid family (Orchidaceae) from Central America, Central and South America. The abbreviation used in horticultural trade is ''Stan.'' The genus is named for the Philip Henry Stanhope, 4th Earl Stanhope, 4th Earl of Stanhope (Philip Henry Stanhope) (1781-1855), president of the Medico-Botanical Society of London (1829-1837). It comprises 55 species and 5 natural hybrids. These epiphyte, epiphytic, but occasionally terrestrial plant, terrestrial orchids can be found in damp forests from Mexico to Trinidad to NW Argentina. Their ovate pseudobulbs carry from the top one long, plicate, elliptic leaf. ''Stanhopea'' is noted for its complex and usually fragrant flowers that are generally spectacular and short-lived. Their pendant inflorescences are noted for flowering out of the bottom of the containers in which they grow, lending themselves to culture in baskets that have enough open space for the inflorescence to push through. They are sometimes calle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lueckelia
''Lueckelia'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Orchidaceae. The only species is ''Lueckelia breviloba'' It is within the Tribe Cymbidieae and Subtribus of Stanhopeinae . The species is found in Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. The genus name of ''Lueckelia'' is in honour of Emil Lückel (b. 1927), a German botanist and taxonomist from Frankfurt, who was a specialist in orchids and president of the German Orchid Society. The genus has one known synonym of ''Brasilocycnis'' The Latin specific epithet In Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin gramm ... of ''breviloba'' is made of two words; 'brevi-' from ''brevis'' meaning short and also 'loba' meaning lobe.

Coeliopsidinae
Coeliopsidinae is an orchid subtribe in the tribe Cymbidieae. The three members of this subtribe have traditionally been lumped in with Stanhopeinae, but obvious morphological traits and new molecular analysis by Whitten et al. in 2000 confirmed the group reclassified by Szlachetko (1995). These genera have smooth, unribbed, ovoid pseudobulbs with 3-4 large and thin plicate leaves. The inflorescences are thick and bear globose flowers with thick, fleshy sepals and petals, presence of a column foot and mentum. Roots have prominent root hairs. Most distinct is the viscidium, viscidia that are button-shaped and sclerified with short stipes. The three genera all have elongated ''Maxillaria''-type dust seeds and not ''Stanhopea''-type balloon seeds. Like Stanhopeinae the members of this group are pollinated by male Euglossini, euglossine bees. The sticky viscidia of this group are adapted to attachment on the smooth surface of the Scute, scutum of the male bees. (''Peristeria elata'' ...

Jennyella
''Houlletia'' is a genus of large-growing epiphytic orchids native to Mexico, and possibly also Guatemala through Central America to Bolivia. was established with the publication by Brogniartt of ''Houlletia brocklehurstiana'' in 1841. The genus is named in honor of orchid collector and grower M. Houllet, French orchid collector in Brazil, later the director of the ''Botanic Jardin des Plantes'' in Paris, 19th century. Description The plants have ovoid, ridged pseudobulbs, each bearing 2-4 large, pleated leaves. The inflorescences begin from the base of the pseudobulbs and are always pendant, with fleshy, showy flowers hanging downward ("nodding") on a simple raceme. The dorsal sepal is free and the lateral sepals form a short mentum with the column foot. The petals are similar to the dorsal sepal but smaller. The lip is deeply 3-lobed, the lateral lobes are upcurved and the mid-lobe is spreading. The anther is imperfectly two-celled and there are two waxy pollinia, cleft, with v ...

Gongora
''Gongora'', abbreviated Gga in horticultural trade, is a member of the orchid family (Orchidaceae). It consists of 65 species known from Central America, Trinidad, and tropical South America, with most species found in Colombia. They grow across a wide geographical range, from wet forests at sea level, to mountainous regions in the Andes, as high as 1,800 m. The name comes from Antonio Caballero y Gongora, a viceroy of New Granada (Colombia and Ecuador) and the governor of Peru during the Hipólito Ruiz López, Ruiz and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez, Pavón botanical expedition. ''Gongora'' was one of the first orchids described by a European. Several new ''Gongora'' orchids have been discovered in the 2000s-2010s, whilst many others have been re-grouped under different classifications. Yet there is still some confusion; Many species lack "appropriate" descriptions. Some species, such as ''Gongora portentosa'' and ''Gongora superflua'', are extremely isolated in population ...

Acineta
''Acineta'', abbreviated as Acn in horticultural trade, is a small genus belonging to the orchid family (Orchidaceae). The name is derived from the Greek word 'akinetos' (immobile), referring to the rigid labellum (lip). These epiphytic orchids occur in tropical mountainous forests from Mexico to western South America, at altitudes up to 2,000 m. They are sometimes lithophytic when found on steep embankments. The large, plicate leaves are parallel-nerved and resemble those of '' Peristeria'' and '' Lycaste'', while the structure of the flowers bears a closer resemblance to ''Stanhopea''. The species produce a pendent inflorescence, bearing racemes of many fragrant cup-shaped, pale yellow to reddish brown flowers. The sidelobes of the labellum (lip) come together in a central callus. The basal part of the lip ( hypochile) is at least as long as the sidelobes. The column is pubescent. The column of these orchids bears two pollinia, except in ''Acineta dalessandroi'', whi ...
