Alphabetical search! Use your back button to return.

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 author of the basiosynonym, while Nelson is the author 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.

`Echinorhyncha Dressler 2005 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Cymbidieae, SUBTRIBE Zygopetalinae.

This genus comprised of 5 species was segregated from Chondrorhyncha as this group of species has a callus plate with a central keel or keels and apical teeth as well as setose sea-urchin-like appendages on the underside of the column near the stigma. Both Echinorhyncha and Euryblema have similar flower shapes, callii and lips but differ in the clinandrium being on the ventral surface while the clinandrium of Euryblema is on the apical portion of the column and the stigma is a different shape.

`Eclecticus O'Byrne 2009 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Vandeae, SUBTRIBE Aeridinae.

There is but a single member in this epiphytic genus superficially similar to what was Kingidium but differs from all the Aeridinae by having an extremely thick spur wall, a broad plate like column ffot that protrudes downward across the spur aperture and partly blocks it, 4 pollina in 2 pairs and each pollina in the pair are highly unequal in size and are so closely adnate that it is difficult to separatae them. The pollina are situated on the top of the column apex and are not in a concavity on the front surface and the linear stipe is supported by a long rostellum extension that completely bisects the opening to the stigmatic cavity. The anther cap also has a corresponding long-linear extension at the base and has a lip with simple calli that have been reduced to low or indistinct ridges.

Common Name or Meaning The Eclectic Orchid [refers to its having many parts combined from a variety of sources, ie. parts unique from several genera]

Elleanthus Presl. 1827 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Sobralieae, SUBTRIBE Sobraliinae.

There are 118 species spread thoughout the tropical Americas but they are concentrated around the Andes and are terrestrial or epiphytic herbs with matted fleshy roots that are similar to Sobralia in culture. The genus is characterized by having simple or branched stems with linear to lanceolate, plicate, veined leaves. They have a terminal inflorescence with a clustered or loose raceme, with floral bracts that generally are larger than the flowers which are small and tubular with a lip that is larger than the sepals with a concave base carrying one to two calli that enfold the column and carrying 8 pollina. This genus needs to be kept moist at all times as they have no pseudobulbs and live in moist to very wet forests as both epiphytes and terrestrials.

There are fourteen species in this erect, terrestrial genus from the Neotropics and Florida with fasciculate, fleshy roots, basally rosulate, petiolate leaves, and small to showy flowers on a terminal erect, loosely few flowered, pubescent, pinkish red, racemose inflorescence. The flowers have lateral sepals that unite with the long column foot to create a spur that is open at the apex and extends backwards parallel to the ovary. The stigma has two lobes and it has a prominent rostellum. There are also two soft, granular pollina. These neo to subneotropical species were separated from Neottia which is a more temperate growing genus occuring in the USA and Europe.

Encyclia Hooker 1828 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Epidendreae, SUBTRIBE Laeliinae.

The genus is made up of 188 species that spread through all of tropical America including the West Indies. They are mostly epiphytes and are found in seasonally dry forests from sea level to 2000 meters. They have apical inflorescence that have flowers smaller than 4 centimeters in diameter. The column has no foot and is not attached to the lip for most of its length, and there are 4 hard pollina attached to the caudicles. These plants are best mounted on branches or tree fern plaques and as a whole do best in intermediate conditions. Encyclia is part of the Cattleya alliance and is often used in Cattleya alliance breeding.

Common Name or Meaning refers to the side lobes of the lip surrounding the column

Taxonomy according to Dr Carl Withner

CAUTION!!!!!!! Encyclia is an amorphous genus that has many species that move back and forth from species status to synonyms or varieties of others so in this treatment I have decided to keep, that Kew has relegated to a different status. Each species that is affected by this has a # symbol in front of it, thereby notifing all that this species is in question!!! This also affects the species count, so don't be fooled into thinking that almost all the Encyclia species are listed here. At this time there are 27 species in question which means that there are 34 Kew valid species that have not been listed as of yet.
