Genera or species names that are synonyms of current names are denoted with a ~.
The basiosynonym of a species is denoted with a "*". The basiosynonym is the very first name that a species had before it was changed to the current species name. If you have a name in parenthesis preceding another name, the name in parentheses is the basiosynonym. An example: ~*Ophrys bicolor Naegeli - See Ophrys apifera var. bicolor (Naegeli) Nelson: Ophyrs bicolor is the basiosynonym and in the current name the parentheses, (Naegeli), is the namer of the basiosynonym, while Nelson is the namer of the current species Ophyrs apifera var. bicolor.
If a genus is complete [all of the species are represented] it is preceded by a `
! denotes the Type Species of the genus
* denotes the basionym or original name with the same species taxon
I have decided to include synonyms in the alphabetical listings because I have found it frustrating to find that some growers do not stay currrent in their plant names and as such we the consumer end up buying a plant that we feel is an exotic different species only to find that it is a plant that we have had for years under the correct name. An example, Brassavola rhopalorrhachis Rchb.f is actually the common species Brassavola nodosa [L]Lindley.

Cattleyopsis Lindley 1853 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Laeliinae.
A genus comprised of 3 species from the Caribbean islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Bermuda and the Bahamas with small, ovoid-cylindrical to ellipsoid psuedobulbs with one to two apical leaves that are fleshy-rigid and have erose margins. They have an erect, terminal, few flowered, inflorescence with small bracts that give rise to small to medium showy flowers with speading or not spreading sepals and petals, a tubular base of the spurless lip which spreads in the front and has papillae and hairs on the central veins. They have 8 pollina instead of 4 in Cattleya. This genus is allied to Broughtonia and Laeliopsis and can be interbred with Cattleya as well.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the similarities to the genus Cattleya

` Caularthron Raf. 1837 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Laeliinae.
This is a small genus of maybe 3 medium sized epiphytic species in tropical South America and Trinidad that is similar to Epidendrum but differs in having hollow horn like processes on the lip. It is also known as Diacrium Lindley. This genus provides a hollow cavity inside and is accessed at the base of the pseudobulb from which ants can get in and out. This genus enjoys as bright sun as it can stand and they need no dry rest so water and fertilize evenly year round.
Common Name or Meaning Articulated Stem, refers to the internodes displayed by the pseudobulb when the leaves fall off. The leaves appear mostly on the upper end of the pseudobulb from which a terminal, racemose inflorescence arises with the few to several flowers at the apex. The flowers open widely and in contrast to Epidendrum, the lip is entirely free, and the column is broad and concave holding the 4 pollina with caudicles.

A genus of small epiphytes with fibrous roots and terete leaves that have an short inflorescence with one to several flowers in a small cluster that arises from sheaths at the base of the leaves. There are 60 some species in the genus that is largely found in India, S. E. Asia, and out to the Philippines and adjacent Pacific Islands. They require shade, humidity and plenty of water while growing, gradually reducing as the growths mature but never allow thew plant to dry out compleately. They flower more than once a year and can be divided after flowering. The solitary to a few in a cluster, resupinate flowers have erect, conniventsepals with the laterals forming an saccate or spurlike mentum with the column foot, narrow petals and a lip that is adnate to the column foot by a long, incumbent claw, entire, often with longitudinal calli and a short, dilated above, 2 lobed or with 2 spathulate, erect arms column and an elongate foot all with 8, sessile pollina.

Ten small, mostly leafless epiphytes make up this warm growing genus from India, S.E. Asia, Indonesia, and Australia. They are best mounted on wood or cork and need high humidity, moderate shade and regular water, but they like to dry out between waterings and, after growth has stopped, less water is required. The ephemeral flowers have lateral sepals and petals that are subequal and are often adnate to the column foot, the lip is more or less clawed, hinged to the apex of the column foot and is pouched or spurred, 3 lobed, lateral lobes larger and erect, midlobe small, the disc has a finger-like callus and is hirsute -ubescent, The short, semiterte column has a long foot, a shallow clinandrium, a deep set stigma, a deflexed, bifid rostellum, an anther cap with 2 long-filiform setae, 4 pollina in 2 closely appressed, unequal, sessile pairs and a sublinear stipe.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the deep cleft in the lip

Chondrorhyncha Lindley 1846 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Maxillarieae, SUBTRIBE Zygopetalinae.
There are now 8 species in this genus and they are found in Central and South America as epiphytes and rarely lithophytes with the largest concentration of species in the Andes of Colombia at elevations of 300 to 2000 meters where they are cool to warm growing orchids that need shady humid conditions and never should be allowed to dry out completely. This genus is characterized by the lack of pseudobulbs [except in the case of C. lendyana Rchb.f], with the leaves forming a fan-shaped plant with an axillary, single flowered inflorescence arising from the axils of the leaf sheaths which gives rise to the flowers that have lateral sepals forming a semi tube, a not saccate lip that surrounds the column, a prominent callus, tongue or keel-like, in the mid portion of the lip, a clavate column without a ventral keel and four flattened pollina on a short stipe attached to a flat, cordiform viscidum.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the beak-like rostellum of the flower

Chysis Lindley 1837 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Arethuseae, SUBTRIBE Chysiinae.
Chysis is a genus of six or more epiphytic or lithophytic plants found from Mexico south to Peru and east to Andean Venezuela. Chysis is characterized by epiphytes and the occasional lithophyte with clustered fusiform psuedobulbs, carrying distichous and plicate leaves that are deciduous. The plant itself is often pendulous growing. The inflorescence arises from the side of the old psuedobulb as a new one arises and is laxly racemose and gives rise to a few showy flowers with equal sized petals and sepals, a three lobed lip that is attached to the column foot and has at it's base a callus with several crests holfing 8 pollina.
Common Name or Meaning "Fusion" refers to the 8 pollina being fused together

Cirrhopetalum Lindley 1830 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Dendrobieae, SUBTRIBE Bulbophyllinae.
Closely allied to Bulbophylum and often misnamed as such and for years considered to be Bulbophylum, they have several small flowers set in a semicircular shape each with its own moving orb that is actually a hinged column attached to the labellum, and they have long hairs, generally purple, growing on the upper sepal and petals. Seidenfadden states that there are 148 different species spread through Asia east of India and on into the Pacific islands. I grow these most often in a wood slat basket where they grow into thick mats completely covering it, but, I also have good luck making a shallow tree fern boat and using a four wire hanger for more ranging species like auratum and biflorum.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the thread-like extension of the petals

Cleistes Rich. ex Lindl. 1840 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Pogoniinae. SUBTRIBE Pogoniinae
There are 50 species in this terrestrial genus allied to Pogonia spread from Florida to Brazil. They are characterized by having a slender, erect stem arising from a subterranean nodular or fibrous tuber, carrying cauline, conduplicate towards the base, lanceolate or ovate, acute or acuminate leaf arranged singley at intervals along the stem. The inflorescence is tereminal, is laxly few flowered and has conspicuous leafy bracts giving rise to showy, large, yellow, pink or purple flowers with free, subsimilar sepals and petals and an entire or obscurly 3 lobed lip, that is funnel shaped, without a spur and has a central longitudinal callus. The column is elongate and subclavate and carries 2 mealy pollina lacking a viscidium. They differ from Pogonia by the different root, larger size and larger campanulate flowers.
Common Name or Meaning In Greek means closed, refers to the narrowly funnel shaped corolla

There are six species spread from Mexico south to Venezuela. They are generally fragrant and are grown like the Catasetum yet differ in having perfect flowers, ie that contain both sexes. The pseudobulb is shorter than those of Catasetum and have deciduous, plicate leaves, a pendulous, basal inflorescence that arise after leaf fall inthe fall with bisexual, fragrant flowers witha short column, as broad as it is long, This genus requires abundant fertilizer and water while in its growth phase and a distinct lessening of both after leaf fall.
