Genera or species names that are synonyms of current names are denoted with a ~.
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 basionym 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.
! denotes the Type Species of the genus

Taeniophyllum Blume 1825 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.

Tainia Blume 1825 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Arethuseae, SUBTRIBE Bletiinae. There are 25 to 50 species in this deciduous terrestrial genus found from India through China and S.E. Asia and south to Indonesia. This genus has petiolate, plicate, and long inflorescence witha few to many well spaced, and often large flowers that has the lateral sepals fused to the coluymn foot [if present] to form a mentum, the lip is hinged to the column foot or if not hinged, spurred, entire or 3-lobed with keels on the upper surface. The column is slender, with or without a foot, the anther often with 2 horns and carrying 8 pollina.

Tapeinoglossum Schlechter 1914 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Dendrobieae, SUBTRIBE Bulbophyllinae. 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.

Trichocentrum Poeppig & Endl. 1836 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Maxillareae SUBTRIBE Oncidiinae. Eighteen 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.

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.

Vanda Jones 1820 SUBFAMILY Epidendroideae, TRIBE Vandeae, SUBTRIBE Aeridinae. 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 parts of the Vanda flower are, labellum {#1}, lateral sepal {#2}, petal {#3}, dorsal sepal {#4}, anther cap with pollina beneath {#5}, and the throat {#6}.
Common Name or Meaning In a local Indian language means plants of Vanda-like shape

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
