WorldFloraDB - Pinalia

Characteristics

Herbs, epiphytic or terrestrial. Stems close together, elliptic in transverse section, of several equally or unequally enlarged internodes each covered by a semitransparent leaf-sheath, giving rise to a distinct venation on stem, with leaves on upper half or a few leaves near apex. Leaves linear, lanceolate, or narrowly elliptic, mostly leathery, without a distinct petiole. Inflorescences synanthous, axillary, erect or nodding, racemose, laxly to densely many flowered, leaving a pit on stem when shed, axis usually with small, scalelike brown hairs; floral bracts conspicuous and often large. Flowers widely opening or not, color very variable, small to medium-sized. Sepals densely to sparsely pubescent abaxially; dorsal sepal narrowly triangular or narrowly elliptic; lateral sepals triangular, ventrally broadened at base, attached to a long column foot to form a mentum. Petals similar in size and color to dorsal sepal; lip 3-lobed, hinged at base to column foot; disk usually adorned with papillose keels of various lengths and numbers, or without keels; anther cap easily detached; pollinia 8, clavate.

More

Epiphytic orchids with large thick pseudobulbs covered with thin papery sheaths and thin wiry roots that form an intricate network. Leaves 2 to 4 per stem, relatively long, flat, arising from terminal nodes. Inflorescence racemose, stiffly erect, arising from upper nodes of pseudobulbs. Flowers resupinate, generally small, cupped, externally hairy. Dorsal sepal free. Bases of lateral sepals fused to both column and column foot. Labellum stiffly attached to apex of column foot. Labellum lamina 3-lobed, with small basal spur. Callus with ridges or keels.
