Brassavola Flagellaris
''Brassavola flagellaris'' is a species of epiphyte, epiphytic orchid of the ''Cattleya'' alliance. It grows wild in eastern Brazil (from Minas Gerais to Paraná (state), Paraná), where it fills the evening air with the citrus-like fragrance of its blossoms. Etymology The specific epithet, ''flagellaris'', refers to the elongated (whip-like) leaves. In Brazil, the common name is ', meaning "whip". Description ''Brassavola flagellaris'' is a sympodial epiphyte (sometimes a lithophyte) with terete pseudobulbs, 6–30 cm long, each carrying a single elongated succulent leaf. The erect or pendulous inflorescence carries one to several flowers bearing long and narrow light-green sepals which closely resemble the lateral petals. The broad white Labellum (botany), lip closely encircles most of the light yellow-green column (botany), column. Members of this species grow readily under cultivation and are resistant to drought. They can be placed on slabs to allow their roots suffici ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Loefgrenianthus
''Loefgrenianthus blanche-amesiae'' is a showy orchid species, inhabitant of Serra do Mar mountains in Brazilian southeast. It is the only species of the monotypic genus ''Loefgrenianthus''. It can be differentiated from its closest genus, '' Leptotes'', both because of its pending vegetation with flat leaves and the flowers which have a saccate labellum. ''Loefgrenianthus blanche-amesiae'' is highly appreciated by orchid collectors. Distribution and habit ''Loefgrenianthus blanche-amesiae'' is a small epiphytic species which inhabits the highest areas of Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Paraná States of Brazil,: ''Orchidaceae Brasilienses vol. 1'' p. 148.

Leptotes (plant)
''Leptotes'', abbreviated Lpt in horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids formed by nine small species that grow in the dry jungles of south and southeast Brazil, and also in Paraguay or Argentina. They are small epiphytic plants of caespitose growth that sometimes resemble little ''Brassavola'', as they share the same type of thin terete leaves, though they are more closely related to ''Loefgrenianthus''. Some species of ''Leptotes'' are widely cultivated and form showy displays when completely in bloom although they are not among the easiest to grow. The majority of the species are not cultivated and some are so rare to be almost unknown; five of the nine species have been described since 2000. Besides being cultivated for their ornamental value, there are records of the flowers and fruits of ''Leptotes bicolor'' being used as a substitute for vanilla in milk, ice cream, tea and candies.

Isabelia
''Isabelia'' is an orchid genus formed by three tiny species and one natural hybrid, spread from the Northeast of Brazil to Argentina, which are closely related to the genus ''Constantia (plant), Constantia''. During more than a century ''Isabelia'' was a genus formed by just one species, however, around 1968, it was merged with genus ''Neolauchea'', also unispecific. In 2001, a third genus was added to it, ''Sophronitella''. The genus name is abbreviated ''Isa.'' in cultivation. Distribution ''Isabelia'' are epiphytic or rarely rupicolous species that are just occasionally found but usually grow into large colonies, spread in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil from north Bahia to Rio Grande do Sul, both in the humid slopes of Serra do Mar and in the drier forests of the Brazilian Plateau, from sea level to fifteen hundred meters of altitude. ''I. virginalis'' is also found in Paraguay and north of Argentina. ''Isabelia pulchella'' exists from Rio de Janeiro to Rio Grande do Sul, (1 ...
