| In warm and constantly humid climates, many terrestrial orchids do not need pseudobulbs. |
| Microstylis and its relatives, although often growing on the ground, have pseudobulbs and thus are really semi-terrestrial. |
| Sympodial in nature, which means the plant has connected stems which cease growth after flowering, the dendrobium has pseudobulbs at the base. |
| For orchids, this includes the abaxial and adaxial leaf surfaces, stems, pseudobulbs, inflorescences, under sheaths, and possibly the roots. |
| Orchids without noticeable pseudobulbs are also said to have growths, an individual component of a sympodial plant. |
| The plants branch sympodially, producing large, flattened, bifoliate pseudobulbs and lateral, solitary flowers on long pedicels, numbering one to six per pseudobulb. |
