Loddigesii, which was introduced to Europe a few years earlier, passed under the name of epidendrum. |
Epidendrum, genus of tropical orchids, family Orchidaceae, with about 1,000 species that are distributed from southeastern North America to central South America. |
Generically, it is nearly allied to Epidendrum, from which its eight pollen masses at once distinguish it. |
These species are classified as Oncidium, Cattleya, Epidendrum, Cymbidium, Phalaenopsis, Vanda, Dendrobium, Phaphiopedilum, Brassica, Laelia, Mokaram Aranchnis and Miltonia. |
Exhibiting at Showcase House since 1980, Hetherington shows how to display flowering orchids like cymbidiums, phalaenopsis, oncidium and epidendrum in the shade. |
It looks like a depauperate L. epidendrum, but seems to be constantly collected. |
