'''''Catasetum''''' Rich. ex Kunth 1822, is a [[genus]] of the [[Orchid]] family ([[Orchidaceae]]), subfamily [[Epidendroideae]], tribe Cymbidieae, subtribe Catasetinae, with 166 species.

==Cultivation==

{{edit-cult}}<!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->
−
Species of the genus ''Catasetum'' occur from [[Mexico]] to tropical America, with the majority in [[Brazil]].
  −
 
  −
They have thick, cigar-shaped [[pseudobulb]]s which are clustered. The [[Leaf|leaves]] are pleated in the upper part and deciduous. The pseudobulbs become spiny after the leaves have dropped.
     −
The [[inflorescence]] is borne on the basis. It consists of very fleshy [[flower]]s that are unisexual, which is exceptional for orchids. The colorful male and yellowish-green female flowers are typically situated on different plants.  Which type of flower a plant produces is determined by the conditions under which it grows. There are rare cases in which a single plant in intermediate conditions will produce both male and female flowers.  These flowers are markedly different in size and color. At first, taxonomists even thought they were dealing with different species. The male flowers have a remarkable technique for the ejection of the [[Pollinium|pollinia]].
