Eria (from Greek for wool, as the leaves of some species are downy or woolly). Orchidaceae. About 100 species of tropical Asian orchids allied to Dendrobium but with eight rather than two or four pollinia, of most diverse habit, and very little in cultivation outside the collections of botanic gardens and fanciers, being mostly curious and botanical rather than beautiful. They require warmhouse treatment, after the manner of stanhopeas.
