Holothrix Rich. ex Lindl.

Terrestrial herbs with small ovoid or ellipsoid tubers and 1 or 2 sessile ovate or orbicular radical leaves. Scape erect, with or without sheaths, unbranched. Flowers often secund, sessile or shortly stalked. Sepals subequal, free from one another, often hairy, thin in texture. Petals usually longer (often much longer) than sepals, entire or divided in the upper part into 3 or more finger-like lobes, rather fleshy. Lip similar to petals but broader with more lobes, spurred at the base, adnate to the column. Column very short; anther-loculi parallel, pollinia granular, caudicles very short, viscidia small, naked; stigma sessile.
