'''''Neuwiedia''''' is a [[genus]] of primitive [[orchid]]s ([[family (biology)|family]] Orchidaceae), comprising 9 terrestrial [[species]].  

'''''Neuwiedia''''' is a [[genus]] of primitive [[orchid]]s ([[family (biology)|family]] Orchidaceae), comprising 9 terrestrial [[species]].  

The type species is ''Neuwiedia veratrifolia'' Blume 1834  

The type species is ''Neuwiedia veratrifolia'' Blume 1834  

The genus is distributed in shaded, damp areas from Malaysia, Borneo, Java to the Philippines, New guinea and southwest of the [[Pacific]]. Like the genus ''[[Apostasia]]'' of the same subfamily, this genus is noted for having 3 fertile [[stamen]]s instead of only one as in the case of most orchids. Because of this primitive characteristics, the genus was considered by some as not being true orchids.

These primitive orchids are hairy, tall herbs without rhizomes. They grow long, plicate [[Leaf|leaves]]. They produce an unbranched, erect, terminal inflorescence bearing usually white or yellow, nodding flowers.
