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.

One of the largest mini flowered genera of it's subtribe it is widely distributed over the entire tropical Asia and out to the Philippines and south to Australia. This genus is composed of 100 different, compact, small to medium epiphytes that have flat fleshy leaves or terete leaves. The inflorescence can be short or long, simple or branched, erect or pendulous and always multiflowered. The 3-lobed lip is spurred and has a sort of a foot that is attached to the margins of the side lobes and the short column with a short foot has 4 pollina that are united in 2 round bodies. The genus was established by C. L. Blume in 1825 using Cleisostoma sagittatum as the type species.

Restrepia Kunth SUBFAMILY Epidendrodeae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Pleurothallidinae .
This genus is made up of 30 to 40 smaller epiphytic or rarely lithophytic herbs found from Mexico to Northern Argentina at elevatiojns of 1800 to 2400 meters in open spots with high light near rivers and streams on tree trunls and lower branches and can become quite a large mass. The plants have short stems or ramicauls, have one tufted, coriaceous, conduplicate, suberect or erect leaf that bears one to several, terminal, single flowered inflorescence that can bloom over and over for years. The lateral sepals are connate, forming a boat-shaped synsepal in most species, the dorsal sepal and the petals are completely free from one another and are thicker at the apex. The petals are transparent and have 3 visible veins, a ribbed lip with denticulate margins, has a pair of thread-like appendages basally and is attached to the foot of an incurved column which broadens apically and carries 4 pollina. As a whole their culture is similar to small Pleurothallis species and grow well with small pots, high humidity, and shady conditions.

Restrepiopsis Luer 1978 SUBFAMILY Epidendrodeae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Pleurothallidinae
According to Carl Luer. There are about 18 species in this genus spread from Central America to Bolivia and Venezuela, vegatatively related to Restrepia but characterized by solitary, membranous flowers basically simmilar to Octomeria and Pleurothallis except for the number of pollina which is four. They have smaller petals than Octomeria. The imbricating sheaths enclose the successively single flowered inflorescence as in Restrepia and arises laterally near the apex of the ramicaul without an annulus. The lateral sepals are usually free but at times connect and the lip usually has a pair of basal lobes similar to those in Octomeria with a wingless, slender column with no apical teeth holding an exposed, subapical anther.
Common Name or Meaning refers to being like Restrepia

Rodriguezia Ruiz & Pav. 1794 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Maxillareae SUBTRIBE Maxillareae SUBTRIBE Oncidiinae
A genus of thirty epiphytic or lithophytic species in the American tropics but with the highest concentration in Brazil. They are smaller plants with sheathed, prominent, elongate, psuedobulbs spaced either clustered or far apart on the wiry rhizome, with one or more erect or arching racemes that are many flowered and arise from the bract-axils. The flowers have equal sized dorsal sepal and petals while the lateral sepals are fused to form a spur which projects forward or backward arching under the lip. This sepal spur contains nectar and encloses the lip spur which can be long or short. The lip is the same color in all species as the petals and sepals, and it has a clawed base that broadens to a rounded apex with two lobes.
