The genus indication orchid is not mentioned in the cases of orchid hybrids and cultivars.
orchid leaves that are exhibitied in nature to a lot of sunshine have acquired a natural protection in the form of reddish pigments such as anthocyanine that diminishes the harmful influence of ultraviolet radiation.

 The Botanical Orchids.
The next step is to begin exploring the botanicals, less well known orchids that have not achieved broad commercial success but that nevertheless reward us with their beauty or their uniqueness.
Some of these botanicals are as strikingly handsome as members of the more familiar genera, but many are grown for their curious form and color or, in some cases, for their grotesqueness.
The tulip orchids may be epiphytic, but they are more commonly grown as terrestrials, in a mix suitable for Cymbidium.

Wild orchids occur in every country and at least 9000 (ie 33% of the total) of them are widely cultivated in countries with a horticultural tradition.
Although many of these "Botanical Orchids", as they are known, to differentiate them from the 110,000 plus artificially produced hybrids, are relatively easy to grow, many of them require considerable care if they are to regularly produce their often spectacular and bizarre flowers.
Concentrating on the botanical or species orchid as opposed to the hybrid orchid, the author sets out to explain its background in geographic and climatic terms as an introduction to a sensible approach to home cultivation.

 botanical.com - A Modern Herbal | Orchids - Herb Profile and Information
Most of the Orchids native to this country have tuberous roots full of a highly nutritious starch-like substance, called Bassorin, of a sweetish taste and with a faint, somewhat unpleasant smell, which replaces starch as a reserve material.
Gerard (1636 edition) gives excellent figures of the various orchids, whose tubers, he says, 'our age useth.' Geoffrey (1740), having recognized the salep imported from the Levant to be the tubers of an Orchis, pointed out how it might be prepared from the species indigenous to France.
Levant Salep, as occurring in commerce, consists of tubers 1/2 inch to 1 inch in length, oblong in form, often pointed at the lower end and rounded at the upper, where is a depressed scar left by the stem; palmate tubers are infrequent.
