want are Trichocentrum (some), Sigmatostalix<br />
(now Oncidium – some), Erycina (including<br />
Psygmorchis – all), Capanemia (all), Macroclinium<br />
(all), Psychopsiella, Ornithocephalus,<br />
Chytroglossa, Zygostates (most), Telipogon<br />
(many) and Trichoceros (most).<br />
The huge pantropical genus Bulbophyllum, definitely one of the<br />
largest genera of orchids, and possibly of all plants, has more than<br />
a thousand species of which hundreds are miniatures. We illustrate<br />
two Cirrhopetalum group species, B. pecten-veneris and B. frostii,<br />
as well as the distantly related B. pardolotum and B. weinthalii. A<br />
wonderful related genus is Trias with several species.<br />
Again a New World group, the Zygopetalinae has a relatively low<br />
percentage of miniature species, but one genus of which is truly<br />
charming, Promenaea. All approximately 20 species are miniatures<br />
that come from the Atlantic Rainforest of southeastern Brazil. Other<br />
lovely genera include Stenia and Kefersteinia, both of which have<br />
some real gems.<br />
The Maxillariinae is a huge<br />
group of Neotropical plants, with<br />
the large genus Maxillaria and its<br />
segregates comprising the vast<br />
majority of species. Of these we<br />
introduce you to Maxillaria<br />
huancabambae, Ornithidium<br />
sophronitis, and Christensonella<br />
