Psychopsis Coelivaga
''Psychopsis'' is a genus of four known species of orchids native to northern South America, Central America and Trinidad. The genus name is abbreviated ''Pyp.'' in the horticultural trade. Description ''Psychopsis'' are epiphytic orchids with laterally crushed cylindrical pseudobulbs from which two fleshy coriaceous leaves appear apically, in their center two floral wands emerge with large golden yellow flowers with purple spots on bands in sepals and on the lip whose edges are forming folds. ''Psychopsis'' very often grows on the trunks and branches of trees. The flowers look like large butterflies with brightly colored bodies (the lip, a modified petal), very long antennae-like petals, and outspread wing-like dappled yellow and brown sepals. The butterfly orchid is rumored to have started the European "Orchidmania" of the 19th century. Very little is known about pollination in ''Psychopsis''. Despite that the flowers are commonly likened to butterflies, they are probably ...

Oncidiinae Genera
The Oncidiinae is a subtribe within the Orchidaceae that consists of a number of genera that are closely related. This subtribe consists of about 70 genera with over 1000 species, with ''Oncidium'' as its largest genus. These genera consist of a single floral type based on the angle of the attachment of the lip to the column, reflecting pollinator preferences. This has however led to several unreliable results and polyphyletic taxa within ''Oncidium''. These were transferred to ''Gomesa'' and a new genus '' Nohawilliamsia'', has been described for ''Oncidium orthostates'' Most species have well-developed pseudobulbs and conduplicate leaves. It is possible to form hybrids in some instances between multiple genera within the Oncidiinae. These hybrids are often colloquially referred to as "intergenerics." Genera Genera recognized in Chase et al.'s 2015 classification of Orchidaceae: * ''Aspasia'' * ''Brassia'' * '' Caluera'' * '' Capanemia'' * '' Caucaea'' * '' Centroglossa'' ...

Oncidium Papilio 01
''Oncidium'', abbreviated as Onc. in the horticultural trade, is a genus that, , contains about 340 species of orchids from the subtribe Oncidiinae of the orchid family Orchidaceae. It is distributed across tropical and subtropical America from Mexico, Central America and the West Indies to northern Argentina, with one species (''O. ensatum'') extending into Florida. Common names for plants in this genus include dancing-lady orchid and golden shower orchid. A 2008 molecular phylogenetic study labeled the ''Oncidium'' alliance "grossly polyphyletic." In the same year, the American Orchid Society labeled the genus a "dumping ground".Lindleyana : The scientific journal of the American Orchid Society. December 2008 Pg 20 A consensus announced in April 2013 resulted in major taxonomic changes to ''Oncidium'', ''Gomesa'', ''Odontoglossum'', ''Miltonia'', and others. Much of this debate and subsequent housekeeping was initiated by significant research for the scientific publication ...

Psychopsiella
''Psychopsiella'' is a monotypic genus in the orchid family found only in the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and near Caracas in Venezuela. It grows as an epiphyte in evergreen montane forests at elevations of . Description ''Psychopsiella limminghei'' is an epiphytic herb with a short rhizome, usually of a length within between pseudobulbs. It has a creeping habit of growth, with both pseudobulbs and leaves pressed against the substrate. Its pseudobulbs, long and wide, are elliptic, flattened, and irregularly ribbed, often with one or two bracts. Each pseudobulb carries one ovate-elliptic leaf long and wide. Leaves are pale green, splotched with maroon, with a rough surface and asymmetric base. The inflorescence emerges erect from the base of the pseudobulb, usually carrying one flower at a time; up to four additional flowers can be produced successively. Flowers are comparatively large and can be up to across. The sepals are obovate-spathulate, long and wide, a ...
