Cattleya dowiana is a species of orchid. The diploid chromosome number of C. dowiana has been determined as 2n = 40; the haploid chromosome number has been determined as n = 20.

Vanda bensonii is a species of orchid found from Assam to Thailand.

Sobralia decora, commonly known as the beautiful sobralia, is a species of orchid. It is pink-lavender and is found from Mexico through Central America. It is kept by orchid fanciers.

Dendrobium luteolum is a species of epiphytic orchid in the subtribe Dendrobiinae. It is native to Peninsular Malaysia and Myanmar in Southeast Asia. It grows along streams at low elevations. The fragrant flowers are white and yellow.

Stanhopea saccata is a species of orchid located from Mexico (Oaxaca, Chiapas) to Central America. It is very similar to Stanhopea radiosa.

Cycnoches egertonianum is a species of orchid native to Mexico, Belize and Central America.

Eulophia euglossa is a species of orchid native to the western coast of Africa, as well as the nations of Central African Republic and Ethiopia. It is a large sized, cool growing terrestrial found near rivers and has narrow, conical pseudobulbs. Its flowers average a size of 2.5 inches, and its common name, the Euglossa Eulophia, refers to its resemblance to a human tongue.

Huntleya is a small orchid genus native to South America, Central America and Trinidad. These are epiphytic, pseudobulbless and often larger plants with subplicate leaves nearing forty centimeters long, erect and single-flowered. They occur in wet cloud forests at medium altitudes.

Paphiopedilum concolor is a small terrestrial orchid first described in 1865 as Cypripedium concolor. It has dark green and grey-green mottled leaves, up to 150 by 40 mm (6 by 1+1⁄2 in). Paphiopedilum concolor is native to southern China (Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi), Myanmar (Burma), Thailand and Southern and Central Vietnam, usually in Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park in Quảng Bình Province. They are generally found in lowlands, below 300 m (1,000 ft) elevation, but have been found above 1,000 m (3,300 ft). Paphiopedilum concolor flowers in Spring and Autumn. Its 100 mm (4 in) tall scape has

Stanhopea tigrina is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae. It is endemic to Mexico.

Bulbophyllum cocoinum (coconut bulbophyllum) is a species of orchid.

Cattleya harrisoniana ("Harrison's Cattley's orchid") is a bifoliate Cattleya species of orchid. The diploid chromosome number of C. harrisoniana has been determined as 2n = 40. The haploid chromosome number of C. harrisoniana has been determined as n = 20.

Bulbophyllum reticulatum is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum.

Oncidium wentworthianum is a species of orchid occurring from Mexico through Guatemala to El Salvador. It is was discovered in Guatemala

Guarianthe skinneri (known as Guaria morada in Costa Rica) is a species of orchid. It is native to Costa Rica, from Chiapas to every country in Central America. Its range extends from the borders Southern Mexico to Costa Rica, a country in which it is the national flower. It was referenced as Cattleya skinneri as the earlier name by James Bateman in 1839.

Guarianthe aurantiaca is a species of orchid. It is widespread across much of Mexico, south to Costa Rica. The diploid chromosome number of G. aurantiaca has been determined as 2n = 40. The phananthrenoids orchinol and loroglossol have a phytoalexin effect and reduce the growth of G. aurantiaca seedlings.

Barkeria spectabilis is a species of orchid. It is native to El Salvador, Chiapas, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Barkeria spectabilis is an epiphyte growing on Quercus trees at elevations of around 4,900 feet (1,500 m). It is closely related to Epidendrum. Flowers are white to pink with darker speckles, blooming from April to August.

Myrmecophila tibicinis is an orchid in the genus Myrmecophila. A common name for the species is the trumpet player's Schomburgkia. It was first described by Bateman in 1838, as Epidendrum tibicinis, and assigned to the genus Myrmecophila by Rolfe in 1917. It is found growing in seasonally dry deciduous forest at elevations from 300 to 600 metres in full sun on trunks and larger branches in Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela and Colombia. The pseudobulbs are large (18 in or 45 cm) and in the wild, there are always ants living in the pseudobulb, with their debris supplying

Laelia albida is the most northerly-growing laelia in Mexico. This epiphytic orchid bears ten or more small (5 cm) pale pink flowers on a half-meter terminal inflorescence in late winter to early spring. It is cold-tolerant close to freezing in the winter and needs to be kept dry until new vegetative growth is seen in late spring. It seems to do much better mounted on cork or hardwood than potted. The diploid chromosome number of L. albida has been determined as 2n = 42 and as 2n = ~63.

Cattleya cinnabarina is a lithophyte from Brazil, growing at intermediate elevations. The inflorescences emerge from the top of new pseudobulbs, each carrying a dozen or so bright orange flowers.
