'''''Schomburgkia''''' is a genus of plants belonging to the family [[Orchidaceae]]. This genus is named for [[Robert Hermann Schomburgk|Richard Schomburgk]], a German [[botanist]] who explored [[British Guiana]] during the 1800's. Species in this genus are either [[Epiphyte|ephiphytic]] or [[Lithophyte|lithophytic]] in their growth habit. According to the [[Royal Horticultural Society]] ''Schom.'' is the official abbreviation for this genus.

The type species ''[[Schomburgkia crispa]]'' is a large sized, hot growing species found in the tropical areas of [[Venezuela]], [[Surinam]], [[Brazil]], [[Colombia]] and [[Ecuador]].

Schomburgkia (named for Dr. Schomburgk, naturalist and geographer, who explored British Guiana). Orchidaceae. Orchids with the habit of cattleyas or laelias, except that they are less compact.
 +
 
 +
Pseudobulbs long, fusiform, bearing several brown scales and 2-3 leathery lvs. at the summit: fl.-sts. from the top of the pseudobulbs, sometimes very long, bearing a terminal raceme or panicle of showy fls.: fls. like those of Laelia except that the sepals and petals are narrow and undulate and the labellum does not completely envelop the column; labellum always evidently 3-lobed.—About 15 species, in Trop. Amer.
 +
 
 +
Give schomburgkias plenty of heat and a light place near the glass, which should be slightly shaded during the hot summer months. Provide freely of water in the growing season. Rest them in a temperature of 55°. S. tibicinis and S. Lyonsii are to be classed amongst the showy easily grown orchids resembling laelias.

Schomburgkia (named for Dr. Schomburgk, naturalist and geographer, who explored British Guiana). Orchidaceae. Orchids with the habit of cattleyas or laelias, except that they are less compact.

Pseudobulbs long, fusiform, bearing several brown scales and 2-3 leathery lvs. at the summit: fl.-sts. from the top of the pseudobulbs, sometimes very long, bearing a terminal raceme or panicle of showy fls.: fls. like those of Laelia except that the sepals and petals are narrow and undulate and the labellum does not completely envelop the column; labellum always evidently 3-lobed.—About 15 species, in Trop. Amer.

Give schomburgkias plenty of heat and a light place near the glass, which should be slightly shaded during the hot summer months. Provide freely of water in the growing season. Rest them in a temperature of 55°. S. tibicinis and S. Lyonsii are to be classed amongst the showy easily grown orchids resembling laelias.

S. Lueddemanii, Prill. Fls. brown, with the lip and column purple, and the crest and anther yellow; sepals and petals linear-oblong, obtuse, manifestly undulate, 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 in. long; lip 3-lobed, 2/3 in. long, the middle lobe ovate-orbicular, apiculate, about 1/4 in. long, the edges incurved near apex. Venezuela. B.M. 8427. — S. Sanderiana, Rolfe. Fls. rose-carmine; sepals lanceolate-oblong, 1 1/2 in. long; petals oblanceolate-oblong; lip obscurely 3-lobed, 1 1/2 in. long, the front lobe broadly rounded obtuse, crisped-undulate.
