'''''Calanthe''''' is a widespread [[genus]] of terrestrial [[orchid]]s ([[family (biology)|family]] Orchidaceae) with about 150 [[species]]. The genus is found in all [[Tropics|tropical]] areas, but mostly concentrated in [[Asia]].

The genus is divided into 2 groups: [[deciduous]] species and [[evergreen]] ones.
