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.

Dendrochilum Blume 1825 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Coelogyneae, SUBTRIBE Coelogyninae.
There are 150 epiphytic and lithophytic and rarely terrestrial species with creeping rhizomes, ovoid to cylindrical pseudobulbs that are basally sheathed by brown to green thin bracts and carrying from 1 to 2 apical, tough, erect, lanceolate to elliptic leaves with a slender petiole that range from Burma to the Philippines and blooms on a racemose, lateral, yet appearing to arise terminally from the leaf center of emerging growths, slender, long, ascending and then abruptly decending, densely many flowered inflorescence with 2 ranked, small, fragrant flowers.
Common Name or Meaning refers to it's epiphytic habit

Dichaea Lindley 1833 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Maxillarieae , SUBTRIBE Zygopetalinae
There are more than 114 species spread throughout tropical America in this little known genus that lacks pseudobulbs and has a monopodial stem with closely arranged distichous leaves, that gives rise, opposite the leaf axil, to an often extremly fragrant, single flowered inflorescence. The flowers are perfect, with ovate to lanceolate, basally concave sepals and petals, distally three-lobed to anchor shaped to clawed ovate, projecting labellum with an erect column and a terminal anthre carrying 4 hard and waxy pollina. They are as a whole epiphytic and occur in wet montane forests at elevations of 200-2800 meters and are pollinated by male Euglossine bees. Many of the species are pendant growers and need treefern as a mount, but some are erect growers and can be kept in a pot. The majority of species are intermediate growers and need moderate shade and humid conditions, ample year round water and fertilizer, and with good air circulation.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the typical leaf pattern growing in two opposite rows

A monotypic genus established in 1941 by L.O. Williams and is found in NE India, Bhutan and Myanamar that is closely related to Panisea but is distinguished by the lip being adnate to the short column. The orchid is an epiphyte with perennial , shiney pseudobulbs carrying lanceolate-elliptic, petiolate leaves and has resupinate flowers arising on a lateral, racemose, few flowered inflorescence. The Flowers have similar sepals that are freee and keeled dorsally, the petals are smaller than the sepals. The Lip is immobile, entire and adnate to the short column which is strongly gibbous or saccate at the base and ecallose. The short column is lacking a foot and has an operculate, incumbent anther holding 4 pollina.

Dipodium R. Brown 1810 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Cymbidieae, SUBTRIBE Eulophiinae.
There are twenty some species in this fascinating saprophytic genus from Southern China, S.E. Asia, Malaysia, Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia and the Philippines. These terrestrials can be either leafless with short, slender stems with reduced bracts or leafed with long climbing vinelike plants that grow from the apex and have roots throughout and branch irregularly, and strangely enough there is a group within the genus that has a monopodial-like growth habit similar to Vanda but this genus is a part of the Cyrtopodiinae. They need shade, warmth and a large area as they are scrambling terrestrials that can be potted in coarse bark, leafmold and sphagnum moss and need an even watering schedule year round.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the double stipites on the pollina that attach it to the viscidium

Disa Berg. 1767 SUBFAMILY Orchidoideae, TRIBE Orchideae, SUBTRIBE Orchidinae.
A genus made up of 130 terrestrial herbs with tuberous roots widespread throughout tropical Africa as well as South Africa, Madagascar and the Mascarenes. They are characterized by having ovoid, globose or ellipsoid tubers that give rise to a flowering stem with leaves and sheathing leaves or a separate sterile shoot with leaves only. This genus blooms on a racemose, one to many flowered inflorescence with free sepals, the spurred dorsal sepal that generally forms a hood and large, spreading lateral sepals, and the smaller petals, which can be entire or lobed and often held within the hood. The lip is narrow and not spurred and carries a short column, an erect, horizontal or reflexed anther, a cushion-like stigma lying beneath the anther which carries 2 pollina each with a caudicle and a viscidium. These plants need cool to cold temperatures and kept quite humid and wet while growing and then a definite decrease after flowering.
Common Name or Meaning Refers to the beauty that some flowers within this genus posses

Diuris J.E. Smith 1798 SUBFAMILY Orchidoideae, TRIBE Neottieae, SUBTRIBE Listerinae.
There are 40 species in this terrestrial genus confined to Java and Australia. They have subglobose tubers giving rise to a stem with overlapping basal scales and carrying narrow-lanceolate to linear, grassy, often paired leaves with a few sheathing beracts above. The genus blooms on an erect, tall, one to many flowered, racemose inflorescence. The flowers have erect, clawed petals and an erect, hooded, clasping the column dorsal sepal and long, narrow, strongly decurved to occassionally crossing lateral sepals and the lip is equal to or exceeding the dorsal sepal and is basally narrowed, keeled, trilobed and the lateral lobes are often reduced.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the thin, limp sepals - Double Tails
