'''''Nervilia''''' is a genus of [[orchid]] with about 65 species, 6 in Australia with 2 or 3 endemic and the rest widely distributed in tropical Asia,<ref>Jones (2006), p. 280.</ref> with 16 in India,<ref>[http://orchidkerala.googlepages.com/nervilia.htm]</ref> and 5 in southern Africa. <ref>Plants of Southern Africa: an Online Check List</ref> There are flowering and non-flowering varieties - the non-flowering plants have only a single leaf and are either ground-hugging or erect. The flowering varieties have a fleshy flower stem with only one or a few flowers and a leaf which arises later at the base of the dying flower stem. The flowers are rarely seen in the wild because they appear soon after the first heavy rains of the wet season and only live for 1 to 4 days.<ref>Jones (2006), p. 280.</ref> Nervilia is the sole member of its subtribe, the '''Nervilliinae'''. {{Inc| Nervilia (name refers to the nerved Lvs.). Orchidaceae. By some authors made a section of Pogonia with fl.-scape bearing only scales and not Lvs., the foliage coming later and separately, stigma broad and lip elongated: the small grayish or reddish fls. are sometimes solitary or twin but usually in a short raceme, nodding: Lvs. radical, usually broad, sometimes colored or marked. The species are about 20, from Trop. Afr. to China. They are very little known in cult. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== Species include: * ''[[Nervilia aragoana]]'' * ''[[Nervilia crociformis]]'' * ''[[Nervilia cumberlegei]]'' * ''[[Nervilia dallachyana]]'' * ''[[Nervilia lanyuensis]]'' * ''[[Nervilia nipponica]]'' * ''[[Nervilia plicata]]'' ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
