Malaxideae Genera
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'' ** ''Malaxis'' ** ''Oberonia'' ** ''Oberonioides'' ** ''Orestias'' ** ''Stichorkis'' ** ''Tamayorkis'' * Subtribe Dendrobiinae ** ''Dendrobium'' ** ''Bulbophyllum ''Risleya'' was previously included, but is now placed in the tribe Collabieae.

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). Louis Claude Richard provided us in 1817 with the descriptive terminology of the o ...

Bulbophyllum
''Bulbophyllum'' is a genus of mostly Epiphyte, epiphytic and Lithophyte, lithophytic orchids in the Family (biology), family Orchidaceae. It is the largest genus in the orchid family and one of the List of the largest genera of flowering plants, largest genera of flowering plants with more than 2,000 species, exceeded in number only by ''Astragalus (plant), Astragalus''. These orchids are found in diverse habitats throughout most of the warmer parts of the world including Africa, southern Asia, Latin America, the West Indies, and various islands in the Indian Ocean, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Orchids in this genus have thread-like or fibrous roots that creep over the surface of trees or rocks or hang from branches. The stem is divided into a rhizome and a pseudobulb, a feature that distinguished this genus from ''Dendrobium''. There is usually only a single leaf at the top of the pseudobulb and from one to many flowers are arranged along an unbranched flowering stem that arises fr ...

Dendrobium
''Dendrobium'' is a genus of mostly Epiphyte, epiphytic and Lithophyte, lithophytic orchids in the Family (biology), family Orchidaceae. It is a very large genus, containing more than 1,800 species that are found in diverse habitats throughout much of South Asia, south, East Asia, east and southeast Asia, including China, Japan, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, New Guinea, Vietnam and many of the islands of the Pacific Islands, Pacific. Orchids in this genus have roots that creep over the surface of trees or rocks, rarely having their roots in soil. Up to six leaves develop in a tuft at the tip of a shoot and from one to a large number of flowers are arranged along an unbranched flowering stem. Several attempts have been made to separate ''Dendrobium'' into smaller genera, but most have not been accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. Description ''Dendrobium'' species are mostly Epiphyte, epiphytic, or Lithophyte, lithophytic although a few spec ...

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 ...
