Abstract
Orchids are the most diverse groups of angiosperms consisting of nearly 25,000-30,000 species belonging to 750-800 genera. They are monocot plants and epiphytic, terrestrial and lithophytic in nature. In the present investigation, all vegetatively propagated species and hybrids of commercially grown orchid genera viz. Cattleya Lindl., Cymbidium Sw., Dendrobium Sw., Mokara (Arachnis X Ascocentrum X Vanda), Oncidium Sw., Paphiopedilum Pfitz, Phalaenopsis Blume and Vanda Jones ex R. Br. And their alliances were used to study 75 morphological characters in orchids. Amongst different morphological descriptors of orchid genera under study, diversity in pseudobulb shape, leaf shape, inflorescence variation, colour pattern, curvatures and other descriptors of reproductive parts were studied in details.
