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.

This is a large genus of 100 small to large terrestrial species that are found globally in the northern temperate zones with a few in Africa and SE Asia. They are characterized by having erect stems carrying basally stalked lower leaves at intervals and leaves higher up that are sessile and has a terminal, racemose inflorescence with small flowers with an entire lip with a long spurand an entire, concave stigma.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the tubers shape that many species in this genus have

This genus has 50 small species from Mexico to Bolivia with a few in Brazil in high altitude cloud forests where it is a dwarf epiphyte that grows cool to intermediate. They are characterized by caespitose, narrowly obovate, short stemmed leaves and a delicate raceme of successive or simultaneous flowers that are held shorter and longer than the leaf. The inflorescence emerges from the ramicaul with an annulus below the abscission layer. The small flowers have free translucent sepals and petals. The lip is simple and hinged to the base of the pedestal-like, column foot. The column is short and broad and has an apical anther and a bi-lobed transverse stigma carrying two pollina.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the broad shape of the column

According to Carl Luer. 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

Polycycnis Rchb. f 1855.SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Gongoreae, SUBTRIBE Catasetinae.
There are maybe 15 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, apendant 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

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

The flowers are orange to red and have the dorsal sepal connate with the lateral sepals, to form a sepaline tube, the petals are narrow, the lip is minute, obscurely 3 lobed and has a disc with a basal callus while the minute column has a broad rostellum and 8 pollina.

Common Name or Meaning refers to the great distance between the column and the lip
A genus of 30 species ranging from Venezuela and Colombia and south to Bolivia and Peru of epiphytes or occasionally lithiphytes occuring in montane cloud forests and are closely allied to Masdevallia with which they differ in the sensitive lip of distinctive shape that aids with pollination by trapping insects when it is triggered by movement on the lip. This genus has a short ramicaul with a successive flowering, hirsute, glabrous or verrucose inflorescence that emerges from an annulus and is much longer than the leaves. There are two piriform pollina attached to a viscidium.

There are 15 species in this terrestrial genus with large plants that climb tree trunks but never leave touch withthe ground. This genus was segregated from Dendrobium and Eria because of the different textured leaves, inflorescence with shortened side shoots and the flowers which have an undivided labellum,and a slender bent columnfrom which the foot is absent and lastly the anther differs from Dendrobium and the seed capsules parallel Eria.

Pseudolaelia SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Laeliinae.
There are 7 species in this occaisional lithophytic and often epiphytic genus that is endemic to Brazil and is often found sprawling on dwarf Vellozia bushes with it's roots trailing onto the rock close below, on exposed rock hillsides often with water seepage because of its extended, rambling rhizomes between pseudobulb growths that carry 3 to 7 apical, deciduous leaves that clasp the fusiform pseudobulb from the upper third till the apex. The pseudobulbs and leaves have a Cyrtopodium look to them. The elongated inflorescence arises from the apex of the pseudobulb and carries 2 to 15, sequentially opening flowers clustered at the apex in a loose ball.
