{{Inc|
Xylobium (Greek, wood and life, in allusion to the substance on which the plants grow). Orchidaceae. Epiphytic herbs, grown in the warmhouse.
Stems short, with many sheaths, soon thickened into fleshy pseudobulbs, which are 1-2-lvd.: lvs. large or elongated, plicate-veined; contracted to the petiole: scapes erect, simple, arising from the base of the pseudobulb: fls. racemose, medium-sized or rather large, very shortly pedicelled; bracts linear, usually rather long; sepals subequal, erect, finally spreading, lateral broader than the dorsal, forming a chin; petals similar to the dorsal sepal if not smaller; labellum somewhat articulate with the foot of the column, lateral lobes erect, surrounding the column, midlobe short, broad, surface smooth, lamellate or callous at the base; pollinia 4, ovoid: caps. oblong, erect. — About 30 species, natives of Trop. Amer.
