'''Leach orchids''' ([[genus]] '''''Stelis''''') is a large group of [[orchid]]s, with perhaps 500 [[species]]. The generic name ''Stelis'' is the [[Greek (language)|Greek]] word for '[[mistletoe]]', referring to the [[epiphyte|epiphytic]] habit of these species.
Many of the older species were named by [[John Lindley|Lindley]], Ruiz & Pavon and [[Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach|Reichenbach]], while many of the recent species were named by [[Dr. C. Luer]]. An orchid of the genus ''Stelis'' was probably the first [[United States|America]]n orchid ever to be brought to [[Europe]]. An [[herbarium]] specimen was depicted in 1591 in Tabernaemontanus' herbal book. These mainly [[epiphyte|epiphytic]] (rarely [[lithophyte|lithophytic]] [[plant]]s are distributed throughout damp mountain forests in tropical [[North America|North]] and [[Central America]].

==Description==
A single oblanceolate [[leaf]] develops from narrow, leathery outgrowths from a creeping [[Plant stem|stem]].
Most species grow long, dense [[raceme]]s of small to minute flowers in diverse shades of white. Other colors are rare. These flowers are photosensitive, only opening in the sunlight. Some close completely at night.
The three symmetrically rounded [[sepal]]s generally form a triangle with a small central structure, made up of the [[column (botany)|column]], small [[petals]] and small [[labellum|lip]], though slight variation to this theme does occour.
This genus is not common in cultivation.
==Taxonomy==
[[Cladistic]] research (by A. Pridgeon, R. Solano and M. Chase) has shown that the genus ''Stelis'' is [[monophyletic]]. But the distinction with several ''[[Pleurothallis]]'' subgenera is blurred (see Reference).
They are closely related to the massive genus ''[[Pleurothallis]]'' and ''[[Masdevallia]]''. Although vegetatively the species show much variety, the [[flower]]s show a basic uniformity and are very similar throughout. '''''Apatostelis''''' <small>[[Garay]]</small>, '''''Dialissa''''' <small>[[John Lindley|Lindl.]]</small>, '''''Humboldtia''''' <small>[[Ruiz]] & [[Pav.]]</small> and '''''Steliopsis''''' <small>[[Brieger]]</small> are generally included into ''Stelis''.

'''Leach orchids''' ([[genus]] '''''Stelis''''') is a large group of [[orchid]]s, with perhaps 500 [[species]]. The generic name ''Stelis'' is the [[Greek (language)|Greek]] word for '[[mistletoe]]', referring to the [[epiphyte|epiphytic]] habit of these species.
Many of the older species were named by [[John Lindley|Lindley]], Ruiz & Pavon and [[Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach|Reichenbach]], while many of the recent species were named by [[Dr. C. Luer]]. An orchid of the genus ''Stelis'' was probably the first [[United States|America]]n orchid ever to be brought to [[Europe]]. An [[herbarium]] specimen was depicted in 1591 in Tabernaemontanus' herbal book. These mainly [[epiphyte|epiphytic]] (rarely [[lithophyte|lithophytic]] [[plant]]s are distributed throughout damp mountain forests in tropical [[North America|North]] and [[Central America]].

==Description==
A single oblanceolate [[leaf]] develops from narrow, leathery outgrowths from a creeping [[Plant stem|stem]].
Most species grow long, dense [[raceme]]s of small to minute flowers in diverse shades of white. Other colors are rare. These flowers are photosensitive, only opening in the sunlight. Some close completely at night.
The three symmetrically rounded [[sepal]]s generally form a triangle with a small central structure, made up of the [[column (botany)|column]], small [[petals]] and small [[labellum|lip]], though slight variation to this theme does occour.
This genus is not common in cultivation.
==Taxonomy==
[[Cladistic]] research (by A. Pridgeon, R. Solano and M. Chase) has shown that the genus ''Stelis'' is [[monophyletic]]. But the distinction with several ''[[Pleurothallis]]'' subgenera is blurred (see Reference).
They are closely related to the massive genus ''[[Pleurothallis]]'' and ''[[Masdevallia]]''. Although vegetatively the species show much variety, the [[flower]]s show a basic uniformity and are very similar throughout. '''''Apatostelis''''' <small>[[Garay]]</small>, '''''Dialissa''''' <small>[[John Lindley|Lindl.]]</small>, '''''Humboldtia''''' <small>[[Ruiz]] & [[Pav.]]</small> and '''''Steliopsis''''' <small>[[Brieger]]</small> are generally included into ''Stelis''.
