Cochlioda (Greek for spiral, in reference to the structure of the lip). Orchidaceae. A small group of orchids found at high elevations in South America, little grown, requiring treatment given Odontoglossum.

Pseudobulbous: fls. bright rose-color or scarlet, in long racemes; sepals equal or the side ones more or less joined; petals all much alike; lip clawed, the blade spreading and the side lobes rounded and perhaps reflexed, the middle lobe narrow.—Some of the species are retained by various authors in Odontoglossum and Mesopinidium.
