description_en: Genus of about 10 species of deciduous, epiphytic or terrestrial orchids from South America, where they are found at high altitudes in the Andes. They have cylindrical to conical pseudobulbs, each of which produces 3 strongly ribbed and folded, broadly lance-shaped, soft-textured leaves. Cradle orchids are cultivated for their superb, tulip-like, solitary, fragrant flowers with waxy tepals, which are borne on basal stems in summer. They are closely related to, and hybridize readily with, the genus Lycaste.
