The list of genera alone currently stands just short of 1000 entries. From a cladistic point of view, the orchid family is considered to be monophyletic, i.e. the group incorporates all the taxa derived from an ancestral group. The taxonomy of the orchids is explained on the page Taxonomy of the orchid family.

It has cylindrical pseudobulbs , each with up to ten leaves and flowering stems with up to twenty white flowers with yellow or purple markings on the labellum .
It reflects the considerable progress in orchid taxonomy that had been made since Dressler published his classification in 1993. In the 1990s, orchid taxonomy began to be influenced by molecular phylogenetics based on DNA sequences. The first molecular phylogenetic study to include a substantial sample of orchids was published in 1999. [12]
Pseudorchis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae.The sole species is the small white orchid (Pseudorchis albida).It is found across much of Europe and northern Asia from Spain and Iceland to Kamchatka, including France, Great Britain, Germany, Poland, Scandinavia, Ukraine and much of Russia.
Chiloschista phyllorhiza, commonly known as the white starfish orchid, [2] is a species of leafless epiphytic or lithophytic orchid that forms small clumps with many radiating, flattened green roots. A large number of short-lived, crystalline white, star-shaped flowers with a yellow labellum are arranged along thin, arching flowering stems.
