Description

Phalaenopsis is a genus of approximately 60 species of orchids (family Orchidaceae). The abbreviation in the horticultural trade is Phal. The generic name means “Phalaen-like” and is probably a reference to the genus Phalaena, the name given by Carolus Linnaeus to a group of large moths, the flowers of some species supposedly resemble moths in flight. For this reason, the species are sometimes called Moth orchids.
