Maxillariinae Genera
Maxillariinae is an orchid subtribe in the tribe Cymbidieae. It was formerly treated as the tribe Maxillarieae, and divided into a number of subtribes. Genera Generic boundaries in the tribe have changed substantially with new molecular evidence. Whitten ''et al.'' in 2007 included the following genera, some previously placed in the tribe Lycastinae, others in the subtribe Bifrenariinae. Some of these genera have subsequently been merged. *'' Anguloa'' Ruiz & Pav. *''Anthosiphon'' Schltr. – since included in ''Maxillaria'' *'' Bifrenaria'' Lindl. (including ''Adipe'' Raf., ''Cydoniorchis'' Senghas, and ''Stenocoryne'' Lindl.) *''Brasiliorchis'' R.Singer, S.Koehler & Carnevali *''Chrysocycnis'' Linden & Rchb.f. – since included in ''Maxillaria'' *''Cryptocentrum'' Benth. *'' Cyrtidiorchis'' Rauschert *'' Guanchezia'' G.A.Romero & Carnevali *'' Horvatia'' Garay *'' Hylaeorchis'' Carnevali & G.A.

Maxillaria Sanderiana
''Maxillaria'', abbreviated as Max in the horticultural trade, is a large genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae). This is a diverse genus, with very different morphological forms. Their characteristics can vary widely. They are commonly called spider orchids, flame orchids or tiger orchids. Their scientific name is derived from the Latin word ''maxilla'', meaning jawbone, reflecting on the column and the base of the lip of some species, that may evoke a protruding jaw. Recent molecular studies have found ''Maxillaria'' as it has long been viewed to be an unnatural hodgepodge composed of groups not closely related to each other. Hence it has been proposed that the genus should be split into several genera, proposals that have been gaining acceptance. Some of the species long considered members of ''Maxillaria'' have been moved to other genera: ''Camaridium, Heterotaxis, Ornithidium, Brasiliorchis, Christensonella, Nitidibulbon, Sauvetrea, Inti, Mapinguari, Maxillariella, Rhetinant ...

Lycaste
''Lycaste'', abbreviated as Lyc. in horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids that contains about 30 species with egg-shaped pseudobulbs and thin, plicate (pleated) leaves. Description ''Lycaste'' flowers, like all orchid blooms, have three petals and three sepals. The petals are typically yellow, white, or orange, and the sepals are yellow, orange, green, or reddish brown. The petals and sepals may be marked sparsely or densely with red, reddish purple, purple, or reddish brown spots. The lip (ventral petal) may be very similar to the other two petals, as in '' Lycaste aromatica'' or '' Lycaste brevispatha'', or colored quite distinctively, as in several subspecies and varieties of '' Lycaste macrophylla''. Most ''Lycaste'' flowers are medium in size, averaging about 5 to 10 cm, but '' Lycaste schilleriana'' is 16–18 cm across. Some ''Lycaste'' blooms have a unique fragrance - the scent of '' Lycaste aromatica'' has been variously described as cinnamon or clov ...

Taxonomy Of The Orchidaceae
The taxonomy of the Orchidaceae (orchid family) has evolved slowly during the last 250 years, starting with Carl Linnaeus who in 1753 recognized eight genera.Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné). 1753. ''Species Plantarum'', 1st edition, vol. 2, pages 939-954. Holmiae: Impensis Laurentii Salvii (Lars Salvius). (A facsimile with an introduction by William T. Stearn was published by the Ray Society in 1957). (See ''External links'' below). De Jussieu recognized the Orchidaceae as a separate family in his Genera Plantarum in 1789.Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. 1789. "ORCHIDEAE" pages 64-66. In: ''Genera plantarum: secundum ordines naturales disposita,···'' (See ''External links'' below). Olof Swartz recognized 25 genera in 1800.Olof Swartz. 1800. "Afhandling om Orchidernes Slägter och deras Systematiska indelning". ''Kongliga vetenskaps academiens nya handlingar'' 21:115-139. (See ''External links'' below).

Trigonidium (plant)
''Trigonidium'', abbreviated as Trgdm in horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids comprising roughly twenty species found from Mexico to Brazil. Etymology ''Trigonidium'' derives from the Greek "trigonon", meaning "triangle", in reference to the triangular shape of the flowers. Description The epiphytes and lithophytes of the genus have long or short rhizomes. Its pseudobulbs are cylindrical or ovoid with overlapping sheathes at their base and one or two leaves at their apex. The inflorescences of the genus are basal, erect, and single flowered, with the flower usually as long or longer than the leaves. The flowers are tubular at the base with sepal A sepal () is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants). Usually green, sepals typically function as protection for the flower in bud, and often as support for the petals when in bloom., p. 106 The term ''sepalum'' was coined b ...s spreading. The sepals are larger than the petals and the petals are larger ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Scuticaria (plant)
''Scuticaria'' is a genus of orchids comprising 9 species native to Belize, Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela. Members of this genus have showy flowers and long cylindrical leaves. They are epiphytic, occasionally lithophytic or terrestrial, that grow pending and are cespitously, or reptant and ascending, which exist is three isolated areas of South America, in Ecuador, Amazon Forest and Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira mountains, in Brazil, both in shady and sunny places. The genus ''Scuticaria'' has been traditionally placed close to '' Maxillaria'' but recent research shows they are more closely related to the genus ''Bifrenaria''. Despite their interesting appearance, they are hardly seen in nature and, because their culture is complicated, they are not common in private collections and orchid shows either. No other use for these species is reported besides ornamentation. Because it is a well established genus, formed by a few species ...
