Angraecinae
Angraecinae is a subtribe in the family Orchidaceae. The subtribe consists of approximately 18 genera and about 360 species. The type genus is ''Angraecum''. Most of the genera are endemic to Africa, Madagascar and other Indian Ocean Islands, a few genera can also be found in the Americas. Taxonomy Recent scholarship has led to proposed reorganization of this subtribe. The proposed change would have '' Campylocentrum'' and all leafless Neotropical genera transferred to a new subtribe under tribe Vandeae to be called Campylocentrinae. That would leave only the Palaeotropical genera in the Angraecum alliance within this subtribe. There is, however, not sufficient scientific agreement to justify moving the "Campylocentrinae" at this time. Angraecum Alliance *''Aeranthes'' Lindl., 1824 (47 spp.) *''Ambrella'' H.

Campylocentrum
''Campylocentrum'' is a genus of rare orchids (family Orchidaceae) native to Mexico, the West Indies, Central America and South America. One species ''(C. pachyrrhizum)'' extends its range into Florida. Ecology Pollination ''Campylocentrum'' is likely pollinated by microlepidoptera and bee Bees are winged insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their roles in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey. Bees are a monophyly, monophyletic lineage within the ...s, in addition to flies, which may play a smaller role.Bogarín Chaves, D. G.

Aerangis
''Aerangis'', abbreviated as Aergs in horticultural trade, is a genus of the Orchid family (Orchidaceae). The name of this genus has been derived from the Greek words 'aer' (air) and 'angos' (urn), referring to the form of the lip. It is the type genus of the subtribe Aerangidinae, which has recently been subsumed in the subtribe Angraecinae. Approximately 50 species in this genus are known mostly from tropical Africa, but also from the Comoro Islands, Madagascar and Sri Lanka. Species are usually epiphytic, sometimes lithophytic small orchids, resembling ''Vanda''s in appearance. Their large, waxy, star-shaped flowers are generally white, cream-colored or yellow. They show a long, nectar-filled spur, often longer than the flower itself. There is a single stem with many flowers on a long raceme. The lip is flat and resembles the petals and sepals. They give off an agreeable smell during the night. There are six to ten parallel-veined, fleshy, evergreen leaves. These orchids are ...
