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.

`Seraphyta Fisch. & C.A. Mey. 1840 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Laeliinae.

This is a monotypic genus segregated from Epidendrum because the small flowers of this orchid have short columns fused to the lip and the lip has no lateral lobes and is cordate to ovoid- shaped with the midnerve distinct and channeled.

Sigmatostalix Rchb.f. 1852 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Maxillareae SUBTRIBE Oncidiinae

There are 31 species of this epiphytic genus found from Mexico to Brazil and from sea level to 3000 meters and is allied to the genus Leochilus, but differs in that, the anther is not produced in front into a membranaceous appendage longer than the lobule. This genus typically has an elongated, arcuate column that gives it a superficial resemblance to the genus Cycnoches although there is no relationship between the two genera. The genus is characterized by being small epiphyes with compressed, clustered pseudobulbs with basal sheaths and one or rarely two apical leaves. The basal inflorescence arises from the basal sheaths and is a compound raceme or panicle of a few to several, rather small flowers with free sepals which occasionally are reflexed. The clawed or sessile lip often has a very prominent callus or a series of calli that can be hollowed out and contain a thick liquid. The slender and arched column has well developed wings or ventral cavities carrying two pollina with a long stipe and a viscidium.

Common Name or Meaning refers to the long and bent 'c' or 's' shaped column

This genus allied to the Cattleyas is used in breeding to get small size and beautiful deep reds. It is a small genus with less than 10 dwarf epiphytic or lithophytic species found in eastern Brazil and Paraguay. They have short, ovoid pseudobulbs densely clustered on the rhizome with a single apical, erect, coriaceous, grey green leaf giving rise to a terminal inflorescence with one to many flowers. The scarlet to red orange flowers have similarly shaped sepals and petals and have a tri-lobed labellum with lateral lobes that partially encircle the column. The smaller mid-lobe has a yellow disc and the spur is adnate to the ovary.

Common Name or Meaning refers to the smallness of the plant

` Soterosanthus Lehman ex Jenny 1986

SUBFAMILY Epidendroidea, TRIBE Gongoreae, SUBTRIBE Stanhopeinae.

This genus, previously listed as Sievekingia and discovered in 1915 by Rolfe, is a monotypic genus and was separated from Sievekingia because of it's erect, downy inflorescence and by the form of the plant overall including round psuedobulbs and grayish green leaves with reddish undersides and the absence of keels and bristles on its lip. It also is different in that it has on its lip an erect, column-like callus with hairs instead of non-erect glabrous keels. I can attest that it is a warm grower as mine bloomed in July for 5 days and was fairly impressive for the size of the flowers in comparison to the plant. I raised it in wood chips with Fennel rock which is a type of expanded shale. This plant is available through Klehms nursery. There are only two published photos of this plant published to date and they are both by Pedro Ortiz and the Colombian Orchid Society #1 Orquideas Ornamentales de Colombia #2 Native Colombian Orchids Vol4 [Vols 1-6 available] I love these books for there coverage of Colombia where I often visit because my wife has family there. Other than these references you must look at Curtis's Botanical Magazine 141:t8635. 1915 for any previous mention of this plant. My references are the above numbered books. So all in all I have a fairly rare plant up for the world to see.

SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Arethuseae, SUBTRIBE Bletiinae

This genus has 63 terrestrial species, widespread, ranging from Southern China south to The Philippines and west to Malaysia and Indonesia with the heaviest concentration in New Guinea. It is also an invasive genus in Hawaii to the east, as just in modern times has it been establishing a stronghold. They have ovoid, depressed psuedobulbs that carry a few folded, plicate, narrow leaves. They have a tall, thin inflorescence that arises from the basal leaf axil and have many successesive flowers that open over many months. These can be grown outside in the ground in South Florida gardens and culture is the same as for Phaius. They appreciate full sun and copius water and fertilizer after the new leads have appeared.

Spiculaea Lindl. 1840 SUBFAMILY Orchidoideae, TRIBE Diurideae, SUBTRIBE Drakaeinae

There is a single species in this terrestrial genus occuring in Western Australia.

SPICULEA (spiked column wings) CILIATA (soft hairs on the labellum). This remarkable orchid is the product of a much harsher environment than that of the present. It has adapted to survive, flower and reproduce in the summer months (November to January) when all surface moisture is absent. It is widely distributed inland to the goldfields and west to the Darling Scarp where it grows in thin layers of moss and soil on and around granite sheets of rock. To withstand the environmental hazards, the leaf and stem dry off from the base upward to force the sap up the succulent stem enabling the buds to open in turn. This survival trait is demonstrated well when a plant can be plucked, placed in a letter and sent by post without any protection half way across the world to the USA or to Europe, and when received the buds will continue to open. The pollinating strategy is similar to that of the Drakea where the insect imitating labellum is attached to a wiry stem hinged in the centre. Although not sensitive it can only move in the direction of the column (as with Drakea) and achieves pollination via pseudo-copulation. The male wasps, attempting to carry off the sham female, are carried forward and guided by the spiked column wings either to transfer pollen to the stigma or to be daubed with pollen to be carried to another plant. A truly remarkable orchid. Ron Heberle April 2003

From Mexico to Brazil this genus is hard to beat for it's size and beautifully odd complexity, and there are 55 different ways that nature came up with presenting it to us. The ovoid dark green psuedobulbs with a single apical, heavily veined, petiolate leaf give rise to a inflorescence from the bottom of the psuedobulb and grows directly downward and for this reason they must be cultivated in a wire basket. The 1 to many flowered inflorescence have a heavy mostly pleasing fragrance that can fill a house with it's scent for days. The parts of the Stanhopea Flower are shown here. The column {#1}, petals {#2}, epichile {#3}, Mesochile {#4}, hypochile {5}, horn {#6}, and the pedicel {#7}.

Common Name or Meaning Named for the Earl of Stanhope VP of the English Royal Botanical Society
