HOME Orchid Species Glossary

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.

The genus is characterized by having round or elongated pseudobulbs that normally have 2 leaves.

It has a triangular midlobe abd has a mass of hairy appendages at the apex, and sidelobes that are erect and sickle shaped. The column is slender and arched and has afoot at the base as well as being auriculate at the apex.

Paphiopedilum Pfitz. 1886 SUBFAMILY Cypripedioideae.

This genus of about 100 species occurs in SE Asia and the Pacific Islands out to the Solomon Islands, lacks psuedobulbs, has fan shaped growths giving rise to a stiff and sometimes hairy inflorescence which can have 1 or many flowers opening either together or in stages. The genus has two distinct growing types evidenced in their leaves, those that are mottled or solid with more than one flower grow warmer, and the solid green with only one flower grow intermediate to cool. The flower parts of Paphiopedilum are distinctly different than others with it's pouch like lip {#3 in photo} hanging below the shield shaped "staminode" {#4 in photo} in the center of the flowers and on to the bizarre hairs, warts and bumps of the linear petals {#2 in the photo}, and up to the cowl-like upper or dorsal sepal {#1 in the photo}. They are also related to our terrestrial Cypripediums of North America, commonly known as lady's slippers. They are best grown in pots with a wood media, need moderate shade, good humidity and regular year round watering with good air circulation.

Common Name or Meaning Venus Slipper - Paphia another name for Aphrodite - refers to the beauty of the flower

Pedilochilus Schltr.1905 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Dendrobieae, SUBTRIBE Bulbophyllinae.

The genus of fifteen species from New Guinea and neighbouring islands. The genus is closely related to Bulbophyllum. Small terrestrial or epiphytic herbs vegetatively resemble those in the genus Bulbophyllum. Single leaves arise from the bulbous pseudobulbs and the inflorescence which carries a single flower arises from the base of the pseudo-bulb. Plants in flower are easily recognised by their pouched lip, superficially similar to the lip of Paphiopedilum species. Found in the montane mist forests growing on moss at altitudes above 1800 m and most at 2500 to 3000.

Common Name or Meaning refers to the shoe shape of the lip
