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.

Platanthera L.C.Rich. 1817 SUBFAMILY Orchidiodeae, TRIBE Orchideae, SUBTRIBE Orchidinae.
This is a large genus of 100 small to large terrestrial species that are found globally in the northern temperate zones with a few in Africa and SE Asia. They are characterized by having erect stems carrying basally stalked lower leaves at intervals and leaves higher up that are sessile and has a terminal, racemose inflorescence with small flowers with an entire lip with a long spurand an entire, concave stigma.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the tubers shape that many species in this genus have

Platystele Schlechter 1910 SUBFAMILY Epidendrodeae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Pleurothallidinae.
This genus has 50 small species from Mexico to Bolivia with a few in Brazil in high altitude cloud forests where it is a dwarf epiphyte that grows cool to intermediate. They are characterized by caespitose, narrowly obovate, short stemmed leaves and a delicate raceme of successive or simultaneous flowers that are held shorter and longer than the leaf. The inflorescence emerges from the ramicaul with an annulus below the abscission layer. The small flowers have free translucent sepals and petals. The lip is simple and hinged to the base of the pedestal-like, column foot. The column is short and broad and has an apical anther and a bi-lobed transverse stigma carrying two pollina.
Common Name or Meaning refers to the broad shape of the column

According to Carl Luer. 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.
