Family: Orchidaceae (Orchid)

Distribution: The genus is endemic to the Caribbean Basin with many species confined to a single island

Habitat: Most species involved in modern hybrids are found in intermediate to warm conditions growing on twigs where they are exposed to bright light and air movement. Moisture is provided by high humidity and by daily rain or heavy dew. Due to constant trade winds, plants never stay wet for long
