Calanthe, commonly called Christmas orchids, is a genus of about 220 species. Chinese name: Xiaji Lan (prawn spine orchid) Japanese name: Ebine They are terrestrial plants with thick roots, small oval pseudobulbs and large corrugated leaves. The sepals and petals are narrow and a similar size to each other and the labellum usually has spreading lobes. Calanthe are sympodial orchids with short stems and several plicate, elliptical leaves that are spirally arranged, or arranged in two rows, ensheathing the stem. Inflorescences arise at the side or from the base and carry many showy flowers on a short raceme. Calanthe is the first orchid species to be artifi- cially hybridised by man. Calanthe, was derived from two Greek words, kalos(beautiful) and anthe (bloom), meaning ‘beautiful flower’. |
