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.

Taeniophyllum Blume 1825 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Vandeae, SUBTRIBE Aeridinae
A genus of leafless orchids. Around one hundred seventy to two hundred species in this genus are distributed from India, Sri Lanka, Japan, the Philippines to New Guinea, Australia, some Pacific Islands as far as Tahiti. New Guinea is considered to be the centre of distribution with some eighty species alone, some of which may prove to be conspecific. The species in the genus are small to very small leafless epiphytes with flattened green roots which contain chlorophyll and have taken over the photosynthetic role of the leaves. The leaves are reduced to minute, overlapping scales covering the stem apex. The flowers of the species are very short-lived, they are mostly greenish-white to yellow. Not easily detected in their natural habitat the species grow on tree trunks either near the forest floor or among the dense foliage of the smaller twigs. They are found from sea level to about 1000 m.

A genus of only three species, all from New Guinea. : Epiphytic herbs from an altitude of 400 to 800 m with elongated rhizomes, small pseudo-bulbs from which arises a single leaf. The medium sized flowers are whitish with red veining and marking. The species occur in forests at altitudes between 400 to 800 metres, particularly in somewhat open forest near streams. In the Oro province towards the Bari region plants were observed to be fairly common on Leucaena trees in old coffee plantations.

Telipogon H.B.K. 1816 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Maxillarieae, SUBTRIBE Telipogoninae
There are at least fifty species in this epiphytic, cloud forest, cool growing genus found from Costa Rica to Peru with the highest concentration in the high Andes of Colombia. They prove to be one of the most difficult orchids to maintain for any length of time. They are delicate, dwarf epiphytes without psuedobulbs, made up of clustered or distant, speedily deciduous, leaves ,which, from the axils arise a slender, few flowered inflorescence. They need damp cloud-forest conditions with deep shade, cool temperatures and ample air circulation. The cloud forest areas not only are damp but a permanent fog blankets the ground and light is rarely high, as it is difficult to even see 10' on a 'clear day'. They are one of the wettest orchids that you can grow and as such need to be misted constantly and watered regularly.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the hairs that cover the distal end of the column

There are about 100 species in this monopodial, epiphytic, wide ranging genus that is found from Ceylon to Samoa, but with the major concentration in Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. There are 2 sections of this genus and it is dependant on the form of the inflorescence. Group #1 is the Orsidice, which has the flowers side by side, and the #2 group, Dendrocolla, has flowers that face all directions. This genus is best grown as any Vanda might, basically warm growing, high light and ample water and fertilizer year round. They are medium sized, monpodial epiphytes or terrestrials with a short to long stem carrying distichous, flattened, fleshy leaves and blooms on an axillary, racemose, short to long, many flowered inflorescence with short-lived flowers with subequal sepals and petals, an immobile, 3 lobed, saccate but spurless, erect lateral lobes, mid lobe generally fleshy with a hairy or pappilose callus on the front wall lip with a short and stout, sometimes winged column a long foot, short and broad stipes and 4 pollina in 2 unequal masses.

Trias Lindley 1830SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Podochileae SUBTRIBE Bulbophyllinae.
Similar to the genus Bulbophyllum but with floral differences, this genus has 13 rarely seen epiphytic species, that have similar cultural requirements to Bulbophyllum. The flowers in this genus always have a triangular appearance and are on a short basal inflorescence. The distiction between this genus and Bulbophyllum is a two-chambered anther with a forward projecting prolongation that can be cylindric or divided into two to three parts
Common Name or Meaning refers to the triangular flower

Trichocentrum Poeppig & Endl. 1836 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Maxillareae SUBTRIBE Oncidiinae.
Thirty two epiphytic species ranging from Mexico to Southern Brazil, with the majority in the later country, make up this showy genus. It's major distinction from other Oncidinae is the floral spur which is part of the lip and not an extension of the column as in other Oncidinae. They are characterized by being small epiphytes with small pseudobulbs carrying an apical leaf, The pendant inflorescence forms basally and is a single to few flowered raceme. The medium sized flowers have similar petals and sepals, a lip, mostly long or short spurred and the blade with variously shaped calli. The short column has a pair of apical wings, often a papillose anther, with two stpitate pollina. The flowers are large and showy for the size of this compact growing plant which is best mounted on cork or treefern and given ample light, high humidity and ample water and fertilizer while in growth and a little less after maturation. They are hot to cool growing plants that appreciate good air circulation.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the hair-like spur

Trichopilia Lindley 1836 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Maxillarieae SUBTRIBE Oncidiinae.
Around 30 species of small to medium sized epiphytes, and occasionally lithophytes or terrestrials beneath orchid bearing trees, from Central and South America which require shady, warm to cold conditions and careful watering while growing, less when not. They are best potted in a mound with the plant in the center on the highest point so as to show off the short basal few flowered racemes. The genus is characterized by being epiphytes with a short, slightly ascendant rhizome giving rise to a rounded or cylindrical pseudobulb wih a single leathery leaf at the apex. A basal, arched or pendant, single to few flowered inflorescence with pleasantly, fragrant flowers which have similar, free sepals and petals which may be twisted or undulate, the lateral sepals are usually united but only at the base. The lip is three lobed and is attached to the column but only along the center, hence the ;lateral lobes that are rounded and free standing, can encompass each other to form a tube that conceals the column and the midlobe of the lip is broad and outspread allowing a trumpet shape to occur. The column is half rounded, near parellel to the lip and perpendicular to the other floral aspects and it bears a clinindrium that is hood shaped and has fimbriate or ciliate margins. There are two pollina united to a broad heart-shaped stipe.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the hairy column

A small genus of 12 or so species that are spread from Mexico south to Peru and Brazil. A Maxillaria relative, it differs in having a cupulate flower that has large sepals that obscures the smaller petals and lip. They are characterized as a genus by being medium-sized epiphytes or lithophytes with a short pseudobulb with one to three apical leaves. The basal inflorescence gives rise to a single flower that has sepals that are larger than the other floral segments, and they are basally united to form a cup with the apices free. The smaller petals have eye like swellings at the tips. It has a three lobed lip and 4 pollina with a broad stipe. They are warm growing and prefer to be in small pots.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the flower sepals having an acuted angled triangle

Trisetella Luer 1980 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Pleurothallidinae.
According to Carl Luer. There are 20 species found from Mexico to Brazil in this dwarf caespitose epiphytic genus that is related to Masdevallia but differs in it's distinctive lip structure and it's column foot. The inflorescence is a succession of single flowers in a congested raceme atop a slender peduncle that is longer than the leaves. The dorsal sepal and the synsepal are variously caudate. The petals are small and membranous. The simple, longitudinally callous lip is sagittate or cordate at the base. The column is elongate with a hooded ventral anther with 2 pollina and a large ventral stigma.

There is one species in this monotypic, dwarf, epiphytic genus occuring from Costa Rica to Surinam and Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. They are twig epiphyte fan orchids with laterally compressed, fleshy, sickle-shaped leaves with a small psedobulb with a single leaf. The inflorescence is a lateral, branched raceme with the small clustered flowers at the apices. The flowers are small and not very open and have basally connected lateral sepals, the dorsal sepal and petals are siilar and connected at the base as well. The inconspicuous lip is three lobed, There is a short column with a large anther carrying two stpitate pollina. Culure should be similar to that given Ornithocephalus.
Common Name or Meaning due to the fused sepals it appears that the flower only has 3 perianths

Tuberolabium Yamamoto 1924 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Vandeae, SUBTRIBE Aeridinae.
There is some discussion as to whether the species in this genus should be reassigned to the genus Trachoma Garay (Greek trachus = rough). The principle difference being the absence of a column foot. The species in this genus are distributed from S.E. Asia, the Philippines to New Guinea and some Pacific Islands. Small to medium-sized monopodial epiphytic herbs with short, leafy stems. the leaves are crowded, thick, sheathing at the base. The lateral inflorescence bears a succession of small flowers. The species in this genus are inhabitants of the trocipal lowland rainforest.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the tuber like swelling in the front part of the lip

There are seventy some species that are mostly epiphytic, although there are some lithopytic and terrestrials that exist, but they are all monopodial in growth habit and are Asiatic in origin. There are two distinct leaf forms the strap leaf and the terete leaf. Typically the terete leafed species appreciate much more direct sunlight than the strap leafed plants do. They all appreciate bright light, even watering and fertilizer year round and do best in wooden slat baskets with little or no medium around the roots. The

Vanilla Miller 1754 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Vanilleae, SUBTRIBE Vanillinae.
There are approximately 100 species in this world-wide tropical genus that was known to the Aztec indians since time immemorial as a flavoring source made from the seeds in the elongate seed capsule that the flowers produce. The plants of this genus are charactereized by having a monopodial climbing habit much like vines. The leaves are spread along the length alternately and are fleshy, reduced to scales or lacking altogether. The inflorescence arise from the leaf axils or scales and are short, racemose and single to several flowered. The flowers have similar sepals and petals and the lip is basally united and surrounds the long slender column and then broadens and forms a trumpet shape at the apex. The fruit is an elongate pod and it is this that is used to create Vanilla flavoring.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the seed pods

There are 11 species at this time in this genus carved from Chondrorhyncha and Cochleanthes. This genus consists of a fan-shaped growth with conduplicate leaves attached to a folded leaf sheath. The flowers arise on semi-erect to laxly pendant inflorescence with the flowers held at mid plant level and are a white purple scheme with prominent lips and in most species reflexed back, lateral sepals. the tubular lip only envelopes tha columna nd the lateral edges fold over or try to clasp the column. The middle portion of the lip is large and is laxly tubular to flat for most all it's length with only the apical portion deflexed. The callus is at the base of the lip and radiates towards the apice and primarily laterally with thick prominent keels. The column is widest at it's midpoint and has no to very slight wings, and has a small tooth on the short ventral column foot which is mostly held at a right angle to column. There is a slit-like stigma and the rostellum is tooth-like. The pollina are equal and it has a sheild shaped viscidium.

Zootrophion Luer 1982 There are twenty or so species in this genus of small epiphytes from Central America, Jamaica and South America, that have no psuedobulbs but, have a well developed erect single leafed stem, or ramicaul, that are enclosed in inflated, compressed sheaths and arise from a short or rarely long rhizome. The inflorescence arises from near the apex of the ramicaul with an annulus. The sepals are connate at the apex to form rigid "box-like" flowers that resemble animal heads. The small lip is hinged to a stout column foot. The column is elongate and the toothed apex partially covers the ventral anther. Two pollina are present. They like shady, humid conditions with a well draining medium or mounted on tree fern, and water evenly yet carefully year round.
