The Orchid genera table, combined with the
Illustrated Orchid Compendium© , is an continual project of
Camp Lot A Noise Tropicals (CLAN). The Orchid Genera table, which follows on five pages, was extracted from
several sources. The primary source was
The Handbook on Orchid Nomenclature and Registration (Handbook),
fourth edition 1993. The 5 year addendum to
Sander's List of Orchid Hybrids, 1990-1995, was also used.
This addendum lists all Orchid Hybrids registered through December 31, 1995. In addition, new Orchid hybrids
as reported in
Orchids, the AOS publication, is used to update the table. The list is updated through
October, 1998. Newly described genera are added when found in the literature. There is no guarantee this table
is all inclusive. It is placed here purely for your enjoyment. The Genera Table will be re linked with our
Illustrated Orchid Compendium (IOC)©, soon. The IOC is presently undergoing updating .
