This is a list of genera in the orchid family (Orchidaceae), originally according to The Families of Flowering Plants - L. Watson and M. J. Dallwitz.This list is adapted regularly with the changes published in the Orchid Research Newsletter which is published twice a year by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Because many interspecific (and even intergeneric) barriers to hybridization in the Orchidaceae are maintained in nature only by pollinator behavior, it is easy to produce complex interspecific and even intergeneric hybrid orchid seeds: all it takes is a human motivated to use a toothpick, and proper care of the mother plant as it develops a seed pod.
The orchid family (Orchidaceae) is subdivided into five subfamilies, and then into tribes and subtribes. Groups of closely related genera are sometimes referred to informally as alliances . An alliance is a group of taxa, at any taxonomic rank , but usually at the rank of genus or species, that are thought to be closely related.
× Brassolaeliocattleya, abbreviated Blc. in the horticultural trade, [1] is the orchid nothogenus for intergeneric hybrid greges containing at least one ancestor species from each of the three ancestral genera Brassavola R.Br., Cattleya Lindl. and Laelia Lindl., and from no other genera. [2]
The nothogenus (hybrid genus) name × Miltonidium was first published in 1936, for hybrids between Miltonia and Oncidium. The first hybrid registered in this nothogenus was × Miltonidium Aristocrat in 1940. [3] As of December 2023, both of its parents were placed in Oncidium so the correct name of the grex became Oncidium Aristocrat. [4]
Zygopetalum (abbreviated Z. [2]) is a genus of the orchid family (Orchidaceae) (subfamily Epidendroideae, tribe Cymbidieae, subtribe Zygopetalinae), consisting of fourteen currently recognized species. [1] [3]
The Orchid Review was founded by Robert Allen Rolfe who single-handedly produced and edited 28 volumes. [2] The first monthly issue appeared on 1 January 1893. Rolfe worked in the orchid herbarium at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew [3] but there was no mention in the periodical of his position there and his name never appeared on the title page.
