Welcome to the Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia
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 taxons 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.

SUBGENUS Acianthera These are misfits or unknowns section wise
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.
SUBGENUS Acianthera SECTION Phloeophilae Luer 1986 Characterized by the repent rhizome bearing small, more or less round, prostrate leaves and a single flowered iflroescence arising from the apex of the short ramicaul without a ramicaul.

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 often pubescent within, connate to semiconnate lateral sepals and the membraneous, short, entire, obtuse to rounded petalssurround the lip which can be 1 two to three lobed and often has a pair of calli somewhere near the middleor on a transverse bar, but sometimes this feature is obscure. The column is short with an exposed apical to subapical anther and stigma. The thick shortbase of the column is more or less bulbous amd articulates witht eh cavity at the base of the lip similar to the "Ball & Socket" articulation in the genus Barbosella. This feature occasionally has the joint more or less adnate and immobile and it can be merely bradly hinged to 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 anther is subapical or ventral with a pair of free, ovoid pollina other than in P macrantha that has a conspicuously elongated anther cap and the stigma is ventral in all species of the section.

SUBGENUS Empusella Luer 1986 A montypic subgenus characterized by narrowly obovate, coriaceous leaves that gradually taperinto a petillate base and is much longer than the abbreviated ramicaul. A ramcaoe inflorescence arises from an annulus below the abscission layer The peduncle and floral bracts are laterally compressed and the inflroescence gradually lengthens over time as the large fleshy, rigid flowers successively arise. The essentialy free sepals are markedly verrucose within and vary in color from green to orange to red-purple. The petals are oblong, minutely verrucose and arise from the sides of the broad column foot. The winged column is denticulate and the ventral anther is hooded and have 2 pyriform pollina.
SUBGENUS Kraenzlinella (Kuntze) Luer 1986 Characterized by the stout ramicaul that is shorter than the leaf and blooms from the apex of the ramicaul at the base of the leaf with a racemose inflorescence without an annulus. The ovaries are spiculate, echinate or with scale -like appendages. The large, fleshy flowers have free sepals and in all species but one the petals bear basal auricles, the lip is variable and the elongate column is more or less clavate with the ventral anther hooded and has a short thick column foot with the end of the ovary.
SUBGENUS Masdevalliantha Luer 1986 Characterized by the ramicauls that are shorter than the leaf, a solitary inflorescence arising laterally with an annulus and flowers with long tailed sepals. The petals are membraneous and without a callus. The base of the lip is concave to accomodate the free tip of the column foot with the articulation on the back surface of the free tip. The column is short with an unhooded apical anther and stigma.
SUBGENUS Mirabilia Luer 1986 Characterized by the extremely long column foot to which an exceedingly long claw of the lip is firmly attached and has a ventral anther and stigma.

The sepals are connate into a concave synsepal with a pair of lunate calli in the center. The apices of the petals are remarkably cucullate. The lip is subquadrate and acutely deflexed upon itself and attached tothe base of a footless column with an apical anther and stigma.
SUBGENUS Mystax Luer 1986 A monotypic subsection characterized by a well developed ramicaul that is loosely sheathed and has a petiolate base leaf that blooms on a successively flowered racemose inflorescence arising through anannulus. The lateral sepals are connate below the middle and are widespread above. The lip is long-unguiculate and has a channeled claw as long as the suborbucular blade and has a short column with an apical anther and stigma.
SUBGENUS Physothallis (Garay) Luer 1986 Characterized by coarse, thick leaves and ramicauls and has a long slender peduncle of successive erect flowers arising through an annulus below the abscission layer. The dorsal sepal is deeply connate to the laterla sepals which are less deeply connate teach other. All three apices are similar and free. The elongate column has a hoded anther and ventral stigma.
SUBGENUS Pleurobotryum [Barb. Rod.] Luer 1986 Characterized by the creeping rhizome and terete to compressed leaves longer than the ramicaul. The racemose inflorescence arises from the base of the leaf without an annulus. The lateral sepals areconnate to above the middle. The lip is spathulate, similar to the genus Dryadella and the blade is angled at the base witha pair of calli on the disc and the long claw is concave and bilobulate at the base. The column is elongated witha ventral stigma and has the anther more or less hooded.
SUBGENUS Pleurothallis SECTION Pleurothallis SUBSECTION Acroniae SERIES Acroniae Luer 1988 Characterized by the caespitose habit with well developed ramicauls that are usually longer than the leaf and carrying a terminal, racemose [this is the basis for the 2 series], long-pedicellate 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 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 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.
SUBGENUS Pleurothallis SECTION Pleurothallis SUBSECTION Macrophyllae-Fasciculatae Lindl. 1859 Characterized by the single flowered inflorescence with the peduncle hidden within a spathe, the usually short pedicels, the entire, fringed to pubescent petals that are not sigmoid in outline and a thick, obtuse, oblong to transverse lip and a sorter, broader column with an apical anther and stigma that is almost always bilobed. 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. It blooms with a single to racemose, terminal, generally pendant inflorescence arising from the base of the sessile leaf or laterally from a short distance below the abscission layer. The flowers are non-resupinate and are basically similar with a free dorsal sepal and the laterals are connate to form a concave to cucullate synsepal. The petals are oblong to ovate, more or less thickened, and are entire and denticulate. The three lobed lip has basal lobes that flank or encircle the column and have a pair of calli on the disc. The glenion is not usually developed. The base of the lip is attached to a thickened, abbreviated column foot and the semiterete column is generally short and carries an apical to sub-apical anther and stigma.

The oblong lip has a pair of longitudinal, marginal calli and is hinged to a thick column foot. The apex of the column is toothed and is partially covering the ventral anther as seen in Subgenus Specklinia. The stigma is also ventral.
SUBGENUS Psuedostelis [Schltr.] Luer 1998 Characterized by the caespitose to shortly repent habit with well developed ramicauls that are generally longer than the leaf and gives rise to an erect, terminal inflorescence arising from the base of a narrowly cuneate to sessile leaf. The flowers are basically similar and usually resupinate and the dorsal sepal is free and the lateral sepals are free from each other at least above the base. The small petasl are simple and entire. The lip is small, ovate to oblong and more or less concave. The base of the lip is truncate, shallowly concave at the end and attached to an abbreviated column foot.

The lip base is more or less adnate to the column foot and the short, stout column hasa hooded ventral anther and a thick pedestal-like foot.
SUBGENUS Rhynchopera [Kl.] Luer 1986 Characterized by the well developed ramicauls that carry a petiolate based leaf and blooms witha simultaneously flowered, racemose inflroescence arising from the conspicuous, foliaceous spathe with an annulus below the abscission layer. The lateral sepals are connate and the petals are narrowly acute, The truncate base of the simple lip is firmly and broadly united tothe short, pedestal-like foot of the column and is the most distintive feature of this subgenus. 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.

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.

Polycycnis Rchb. f 1855. SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Cymbidieae, 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 sea level to 1500 meters 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 column.
Common Name or Meaning refers to how the flower is reminiscent of a swans neck and head

Polystachya Hooker 1824 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Vandeae, 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

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 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.

There are 10 to 11 species in this terrestrial genuscharacterized by a basal rosette of leaves, an erect inflorescence and small resupinate flowers. The lateral sepals together with the column foot form a short protruding mentum that is not spur-like, the lip is pandurate, the stigma bilobed, and is separated by the terminal ridge of a distinct fold running the full length of the column. The column foot is much longer than the column and the hard, cartiliginous, sharp pointed rostellum which has at right angles the stigmata at the apex of the truncate column and there are 4 soft pollina.
