Didymoplexis (double or twin plaits). Orchidaceae. One saprophytic orchid with leafless sts. D. pallens, Griff., has been cult. abroad but is probably not in the trade: root branching and tuberous, bearing a st. 4-6 in. high with loose sheaths: racemes terminal, with 4-8 small brownish or dull yellow-white fls.; perianth ⅓ in. diam.; lip stipitate, transversely oblong, with 3 nerves and a papillose disk; pedicels becoming greatly elongated after fertilization. E. India.—The genus Didymoplexis comprises 2 or 3 species (Leucorchis is a more recent name), in India, Malaya and the Pacific Isls., characterized by simple flexuous scapes, dorsal sepals and petals connate into a 3-parted upper lip, the lateral connate into an entire or 2-parted lower lip, the regular lip inserted on the foot of the column, very short and broad, entire: caps, becoming very long- pedicelled. Apparently of little horticultural interest. CH
