Brachionidium
Cup orchids (genus Brachionidium) are a group of about 72 species of orchids, found throughout much of tropical America (Central America, the West Indies, and South America as far south as Brazil and Bolivia). The generic name comes from Greek ("little arm") and refers to the protrusions on the stigma.
