 Orchids Growing & Orchid Background Information
Orchids (Orchidaceae family) are among the largest and most diverse of the flowering plant (Angiospermae) families, with over 800 described genera and 25,000 species.
All orchid species are protected for the purposes of international commerce under CITES as potentially threatened or endangered in their natural habitat, with most species listed under Appendix II.
A number of species and genera are afforded protection under Appendix I, including all of Paphiopedilum and all of Phragmipedium.

Orchids (Orchidaceae family) are the largest and most diverse of the flowering plant (Angiospermae) families, with over 800 described genera and 25,000 species.
Orchids, through their interactions with pollinators and their symbiosis with orchid mycorrhizal fungi, are considered by some, along with the grasses, to be examples of the most advanced (derived) floral evolution known.
A number of species and genera are afforded protection under Appendix I, including all Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium, Mexipedium, Cypripedium, and Selenipedium species.

The aim of Genera Orchidacearum is therefore to produce a more robust and natural account of the orchids at the generic level, incorporate the wealth of new molecular data in a truly phylogenetic classification, and identify those areas and taxa that need additional work.
The orchid family, Orchidaceae, has inspired a great deal of speculation concerning the timing and place of their evolution, but since they have no fossil history until the Miocene (Schmid and Schmid 1977; general review in Herendeen and Crane 1995), it has been widely assumed that they are a relatively recently evolved family.
