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.

According to Carl Luer 1999. The largest genus within the Orchidaceae in the New World with more than 1000 species represented from all parts of subtropic and tropical Americas. Typically they are epiphytes but on occasion they can be found terrestrially or lithophtically with extremely diverse plant forms, from minature moss like plants to large ranging plants of several feet in height. Their cultural requirements are as varied as their plant form so each species should be treated according to the enviroment that it is found.
Common Name or Meaning relates to the shoots extending sideways like ribs

The sections below are gleaned from Luer in Icones Pleurothallidinarum Vol III through Vol XVIII Luer 1986 - 1998 MOBOT. This is meant as a identification guide and not as a taxonomic treatment.
SUBGENUS Acianthera SECTION Brachystachyae Lindley 1859 Characterized by the short to elongate, but seldom prolific ramicauls [similar species with compressed ramicauls are treated in Section sicariae] carry sessile leaves with margins that are sometimes decurrent on the ramicaul. The usually short, fleshy, racemose inflorescence is terminal from the ramicaul and does not arise through an annulus but can arise from the rhizome as in the case of P johnsonii. The long to short, single to many flowered inflorescence have flowers with fleshy, often pubescent sepals whose laterals are connate. The thick, ligulate lip usually with a pair of calli on the disc is more or less broadly unguiculate and often minutely bilobulate at the delicately hinged base.
SUBGENUS Acianthera SECTION Cryptophoranthae Luer 1986 Characterized by the dorsal sepal being connate to the lateral sepals forming a lateral window. Almost exclusively occuring in Brazil.

The racemose inflorescence arises laterally either singly and successively or several simultaneously in a fascile arsiing from an annulus shortly below the abscission layer. The flowers arise mostly simultaneously in short to elongate racemose inflorescence and have the three sepals free, similar and pubescent within, the broadly obtuse to rounded apically petals are small and entire as well as the oblong lip is generally shallowly concave centrally between parellel calli or erect margins below the middle. The lip is also variously callous or lobedThe column is slender and carries a ventral anther and stigma with a pair of pollina that are attached to a single, small viscidium. The column foot is well developed and extends beyond the end of the ovary and is slender or narrowly longitudinally winged. The lip is delicately hinged to the lip.
SUBGENUS Acuminatia SECTION Alatae Lindley 1859 Characterized by the ramicaul longer or as long as the petiolate to subpetiolate base leaf that is never sessile. The racemose inflorescence arises laterally either singly and successively or several simultaneously in a fascile arsiing from an annulus shortly below the abscission layer. The flowers arise mostly simultaneously in short to elongate racemose inflorescence and have the three glabrous sepals free, similar and pubescent within, the glabrous, narrowly acute to long-acuminate apically petals are small and entire as well as the simple oblong lip has a shallow, midline channel.. The lip is also variously callous or lobed. The column is broad with more or less rectangular wings above the middle and carries a ventral anther and stigma with a pair of pollina that are attached to a single, small viscidium. The column foot is well developed and extends beyond the end of the ovary and is slender or narrowly longitudinally winged. The lip is delicately hinged to the lip.

The sepals are more or less membraneous with the laterals connate. The petals are thickened towards the apex and the lips are diversely modified, often into bizarre shapes resembling insect and animal horns and ears. The morphology of the some parts of the flowers is quite variable among the species but the ramicauls, leaves, peduncles, sepals and petasl are quite consistently the same.
SUBGENUS Apoda-Prorepentia Luer 1986 Characterized by the long-repent, more or less pendant rhizome with prostrate to pendant, short ramicauls and comparatively large, overlapping, more orless pendant leaves with an inflorescence arising through an inflated, large spathe at the base of the leaf without an annulus. The flowers are often hidden within the spathe. The sepals are variously connate and the column is elongate witha partially hooded anther.
SUBGENUS Arthrosia Luer 1986 Characterized by the tranverse callus across the base of the lip that articulates with a transverse cavity across the base of the column foot.

The relatively large flowers are bourne successively or simultaneously in loose, racememes with flowers that have tailess sepals but some speceies have a dorsal sepal with narrowly acute apices. The lateral sepals are connate from midway to deeply connate into a synsepal that is shortly bifid at the apex. The column is relatively short and often thickened towards the base and the well developed foot has a more or less free tip that is sometimes curved and reminiscent of the free-incurved extension of the column foot seen in Masdevallia.

The flowers differ in the completely connate lateral sepals form a synsepal that is similar to the dorsal sepal. The petals are prominent, membraneous and mostly broad, frequently descending and sigmoid in outline, and are often ciliate, denticulate, fringed or pubescent. The lip is [one exception P nox-media] triangular to trilobed and the apex is acute or apiculate if obtuse and the lobes are more or less incurved or erect and are not prolonged into lateral lobes. The variously developed glenion is mostly present but an intricater callus is only occasionally present on the disc. The base of the lip is variously deflexed below the laterla angles and hinged tothe thickened base of an obsolescent column foot. The semiterete, usually short column carries an apical anther and a stigma which is transverse or bilobed and the ovoid pollina have a minute, granular viscidium. This subsection and amphygiae are not distinctly separated in various borderline species and for this reason they later were separated by Luer into the genus Acronia with three sections, Acronia, Amphygia and Macrophyllae-fasciculatae.
SUBGENUS Pleurothallis SECTION Pleurothallis SUBSECTION Acroniae SERIES Amphygiae Luer 1998 Characterized by the caespitose habit with well developed ramicauls that are usually longer than the leaf and carrying a terminal, singel flowered [this is the basis for the 2 series], long-pedunculate inflorescence. The flowers differ in the completely connate lateral sepals form a synsepal that is similar to the dorsal sepal. The petals are prominent, membraneous and mostly broad, frequently descending and sigmoid in outline, and are often ciliate, denticulate, fringed or pubescent. The lip is [one exception P nox-media] triangular to trilobed and the apex is acute or apiculate if obtuse and the lobes are more or less incurved or erect and are not prolonged into lateral lobes. The variously developed glenion is mostly present but an intricater callus is only occasionally present on the disc. The base of the lip is variously deflexed below the lateral angles and hinged tothe thickened base of an obsolescent column foot. The semiterete, usually short column carries an apical anther and a stigma which is transverse or bilobed and the ovoid pollina have a minute, granular viscidium. This subsection and amphygiae are not distinctly separated in various borderline species and for this reason they later were separated by Luer into the genus Acronia with three sections, Acronia, Amphygia and Macrophyllae-fasciculatae.
SUBGENUS Pleurothallis SECTION Pleurothallis SUBSECTION Antenniferae 1998 Characterized by the caespitose to repent habit with well developed ramicauls that are usually longer than the leaf. They have a mostly erect, racemose, termianl inflorescence at the base of the sessile or rarely subpetiolate base leaf. Basically the flowers are similar and resupinate with the dorsal sepal free from the laterals and the laterals are connate into a concave to cucullate synsepal. The petals are more or less thickened and entire, narrowly oblong to narrowly linear and are expanded, The three lobed lip has prominent lateral lobes that are either broadly rounded or elongated often markedly so. The lip is variously recurved towards the middle usually markedly so from 90 to 180 degrees. There is generally not a glenion present and the deflexed base of the lip is attached to an abbreviated column foot. The column is semiterete, usually short and has an apical to subapical anther and stigma.
SUBGENUS Pleurothallis SECTION Pleurothallis SUBSECTION Longiracemosae [Luer] Luer 1998 Characterized by the caespitose habit with well developed but slendre, non-compressed ramicauls that are as long as the leaf and carries a terminal, racemose inflorescence arising from the base of the leaf. The very small to small flowers are usually resupinate and have a free dorsal sepal and connate lateral sepals that form a concave synsepal. The petals are more or less thickened, entire and oblong and the lip is entire, ovate and concave with the side lobe-like and rounded but the undersurface is flat to convex with out a reflexion which separates this subsection from Annteniferae. There is no glenion and the base of the lip is transversely thickened, more or less concave at the end without being deflexed and is attached to the abbreviated to absent column foot. The column is semiterete, wingless and toothless with an apical, unhooded anther and an apical or subapical stigma and an abbreviated vestigal or totally absent column foot.

This subsection and amphygiae are not distinctly separated in various borderline species and for this reason they later were separated by Luer into the genus Acronia [2005] with three sections, Acronia, Amphygia and Macrophyllae-fasciculatae.
SUBGENUS Pleurothallis SECTION Pleurothallis SUBSECTION Macrophyllae-Racemosae [Lindl] Luer 1986 Characterized by the caespitose to rarely repent habit with well developed ramicauls that are mostly longer than the sessile to petiolate base leaf.

The column is cylindrical with an apical or subapical anther and stigma
SUBGENUS Rubellia Luer 1986 A monotypic subgenus separated by the habit similar to Subgenus specklinia, the ciliate lip that has a large, rounded, concave, pubescent callus at the base which is possibly a greatly modified glenion. The short, terete column has an exposed apical anther and stigma such as in Subgenus Pleurothallis.
SUBGENUS Sarracenella [Luer] Luer 1986 Characterized by the creeping rhizome with erect, thick, short petiolate base leaves and blooms on a short, racemose inflroescence arising from the base of the leaf withoput an annulus and it usuallly produces a facing pair of erect, long-tubular flowers decurved at the apex. The petals and lip are deep within the sepaline tube. The column is elongate with a ventral stigma and a hooded ventral anther.
SUBGENUS Scopula Luer 1986 Characterized by the elliptical to narrowly elliptical leaves with a tuft of single flowered inflorescence emering from what looks like the midrib near the apex. The leaves are actually exceedingly long-decurrrent on the ramicaul. No annulus is visible and the flowers are similar to Subgenus Pleurothallis with a cylindrical column and an apical to subapical anther and stigma as well as an absolescent foot.
SUBGENUS Specklinia SECTION Effusae Lindl. 1842 Characterized by the ramicauls shorter or longer than the leaves with a tubular sheath near the middle and two to three more at the base that blooms on a simultaneously to successively, racemose inflorescence longer or shorter than the leaf, arising witha distinct to indistinct annulus which is sometimes obliterated by the abscission layer. One species P imraei, has no visible annulus or it is entirely absent. The sepals are glabrous externally but are often pubescent within. The lateral sepals are connate at least to the middle. The petals are more or less verrucose, callous or carinate externally on species with a short ramicaul, and often those with a long ramicaul do not have a callus. The column is elongate and may or may not have teeth or wings and often but not always cover the anther. The anther and the stigma are always ventral.
SUBGENUS Specklinia SECTION Hymenodanthae SUBSECTION Apodae-Caespitosae [Lindl.]Luer 1986 Characterized by the succesively flowered, congested inflorescence arisingg from the apex of the filiform peduncle, The lateralsepals are semiconnate to connate and the petals are often dilated along the lower margin. The fleshy to thick lip is often verrucose with more or less erect lateral margins or lobes below the middle that are often continuous with calli from the disc, similar to Subgenus Acianthera.
SUBGENUS Specklinia SECTION Hymenodanthae SUBSECTION Longicaulae [Barb. Rodr.] Luer 1986 Characterized by the usually simultansoeuly flowering, loose, racemose inflorescence usually longer than the leaf. The lateral sepals may be connate or free and the petals and lip are simple, The column is often bicallous.
SUBGENUS Specklinia SECTION Mentosae Luer 1986 Characterized by the loose, successively flowered, racmose inflorescence witha prominent chin formed by the bases of the sepals connate tothe column foot. The lip is cuneate and the clongate column is cucullate.
SUBGENUS Specklinia SECTION Muscariae Luer 1986 Characterized by the small caespitose plants with a loose, successively flowered, racemose inflorescence carrying flowers with membraneous, free sepals or the laterals may be connate to near the middle. The petals are variously lacerate, raely entire and the apex is commonly long-attenuate. The thick, fleshy, often verrucose lip has more or less erect, lateral margins below the middle and are often continuous with calli from the disc and the base may be membraneously bilobulate.
SUBGENUS Specklinia SECTION Muscosae Lindl. 1842 Characterized by the small caespitose to repent plants with a ramicaul that sometimes approaches the length of the leaf and blooms with two [rarely reduces to one] to more successively flowered, congested, subcongested or less common, lax, racemose inflorescence that may be shorter to longer than the leaf. The lateralspela may be free or connate and the petals are more or less acute to acuminate. The ligulate lip often ciliate also often has small marginal lobes near the middle. The disc had a pair of longitudinal calli that usually terminate in a more or less erect, bilobedprojection above the base which is more or less accomodated by the concave column foot. The base of the lip is often membraneously bilobulate and the lip of several species approach that found within the genus Trichosalpinx.
SUBGENUS Specklinia SECTION Tribulodes Luer 1986 Charcterized by the congested, racemose inflorescence of fleshy, brick red flowers with the apices of the sepals connivent [touching]. The spiny capsule resembles a cocklebur.
SUBGENUS Specklinia SECTION Tripteranthae Luer 1986 Characterized by the short ramicauls blooming laterally from the ramicaul through a bulge or indistinct annulus.The several flowered, racemose inflroescence is more or less pendant and the ovaries and sepals are conspicuously fleshy carinate and the flowers are often cleisostogamous.
SUBGENUS Talpinaria [Karst] Luer 1986 Characterized by the well developed ramicaul with a central tubular sheath and a few basal sheaths, a petiolate leaf, a fascile of single flowered inflorescence arising through a spathe at the apex of the ramicaul and has an indistinct annulus. The lateral sepals are connate, the petals are elongate and acute, and the lip is variously lobed. The column is elongated and lightly winged with a ventral anther and the lip is hinged to the column foot.
SUBGENUS Uncifera Characterized by the very short rhizome and caespitose habit, ramicauls that are disitinctly shorter than the thinly coriaceous leaves and the laterally arising, successively to simutaneously opening, few to many flowered, racemose inflorescence subtended by an annulus a short distiance below the abscission layer. The small flowers have a three-veined dorsal sepal and is essentially free from the laterals which are connate at least above the middle. The petals are membraneous, simple and single veined. The lip is lobed at the base and the lobes are modifications of the uncinate form. The disc is smooth to variously sulcate between a pair of carina that extend forward at the base. There is also a converging pair of calli extend forward from the bases of the lateral lobes. The lip base is simply hinged to the short column foot. The semi-terete column is variously toothed at the apex and covers the anther. The anther has a deciduous anther cap and has a pair of free, obovoid pollina. The ventral stigma lies behind the rostellum.
SUBGENUS Xenion Luer 1986 Characterized by the climbing habit and short ramicauls and a three lobed lip that is centrally excavate and fixed firmly at the base to the column foot and the column is elongate with a winged, hooded apex

Polycycnis Rchb. f 1855.SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Gongoreae, SUBTRIBE Catasetinae.
There are maybe 17 species in this epiphytic genus found from Costa Rica to Colombia, Peru and then east on the coast to Guyana at elevations of sealevel to 1500 metesr as epiphytes in dense forests, or rarely as terrestrials on roadside banks in very humid, shady locations and differs from Cycnoches in the mostly pendant flowers being hermaphroditic and the lack of a fleshy lip. The genus is characterized by having naked older pseudobulbs with only the newest growth carrying leaves, a pendant inflorescence with many pubescent flowers that have a swan neck-shaped, slender arched colum.
Common Name or Meaning refers to how the flower is reminiscent of a swans neck and head

Polystachya Hooker 1824 SUBFAMILY Epidendrodeae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Polystachyinae.
There are more than 130 species of this epiphytic, sometimes terrestrial or lithophytic, highly diverse genus in range and plant form. This genus is found from tropical Africa to the Caribbean, Florida and Mexico southward to Brazil, and then eastward through the Pacific, South East Asia, and Indonesia. As a genus the plants have nodding flowers so they open downwards and most have pseudobulbs that are swollen at the base with a few leaves, a simple or branched, terminal, racemose inflorescence with rather small, non-resupinate flowers with larger lateral sepals than the dorsal and much narrower petals, the disc of the lip is covered with a mealy substance and the column has a prominent foot and is short and cylindrical carrying 4 pollina.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the capability for this genus to rebloom off of old spikes
