description_en: Genus of about 750 species of highly varied, evergreen orchids, including epiphytes, lithophytes, and terrestrials. They are widespread in tropical North, Central, and South America, some thriving in montane forests to an altitude of 1,000m (3,250ft). Most produce cylindrical, leafy stems that may be either tall and reed-like or short and fleshy; others have pseudobulbs. The leaves vary greatly. The flowers are produced in usually terminal, umbel-like racemes or panicles, which are a continuation of the leafy stems, or they are occasionally borne from the bases.
