Lecanorchis

Wikipedia Abstract

Lechanorchis is a genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae) belonging to the subfamily Vanilloideae. The scientific name is derived from the Greek words lekane (basin) and orchis (orchid). They occur in mountain forest of the Himalayas, China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea at altitudes between 300 – 1500 m. Characteristic for this species is: \n* the presence of a calyculus, a cup-like structure formed from a group of small bracts. \n* the erect gynostemium (the fused stamen and pistil) is elongate.
