Eulophia graminea, the Chinese crown orchid, is a species of orchid native to Asia. It often develops a pseudobulb. It is considered invasive in Florida and spreads with wood chip mulch. [2] Flowers are green and brownish purple. [3]
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.
A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 suggested the genus Eulophia was paraphyletic unless a clade containing Orthochilus was recognized and 34 species and one subspecies were transferred to the resurrected genus Orthochilus, which included many Eulophia and all Pteroglossaspis taxa. [2]
Dendrobium Orchid. There are as many as 1,800 different species of dendrobium orchids. These orchids like to grow in small pots and often have tall, top-heavy blooms that require staking for support.

Eulophia, commonly known as corduroy orchids, [3] is a genus of about two hundred species of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Most Eulophia orchids are terrestrial but some are deciduous while others are evergreen .
Eulophiinae is an orchid subtribe in the tribe Cymbidieae. It comprises 270 species divided into nine genera, with the genus Eulophia comprising 60% of these species. [ 1 ]
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]
