Stenia (Greek, narrow, alluding to the form of the pollen-masses). Orchidaceae. Epiphytic herbs with short sts. and clustered pseudobulbs which bear 1-2 lvs., grown occasionally in the warmhouse: lvs. oblong or narrow, leathery, midrib prominent: scapes short at the axils of the sheaths, below the Lvs. or pseudobulbs, recurved, with 1 rather large fl.; sepals subequal, free among themselves, spreading, the lateral a little broader; petals similar to the dorsal sepals; labellum continuous with the foot of the column, inbent, fleshy, broad, concave, nearly saccate, the lateral lobes minute, midlobe undivided or all broader and fimbriate; column rather thick and erect; pollinia 4, oblong-linear: caps. unknown. Two species, Trop. S. Amer. Treatment much as in maxillaria. S. guttata, Reichb. f., is similar to the following, but differs in having blunter sepals and petals which are straw-colored with purple spots and in the lip being blotched and having only seven callous teeth. Peru. S. pallida, Lindl. St. wanting: lvs. 2-5, oblong, acute, slightly narrowed and keeled at the base, sheathed with brownish spathaceous scales: scapes radical, prostrate: fls. pale citron-color, 1 1/2 in. or more diam.; sepals and petals linear, acute; lip spotted with red, nearly saccate, entire, fleshy, ovate. Guiana. B.R. 24:20.

{{edit-cult}}<!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->
−
This [[epiphyte|epiphytic]] plants occur in warm, humid habitats of [[Trinidad]] and tropical South America.
  −
 
  −
This genus as a rule lacks [[pseudobulb]]s and consequently produces tufted fan-like growths of fairly erect narrow, short [[Leaf|leaves]], and conforms to the [[sympodial]] method of growth.
     −
Plants of this genus produce a short, creeping or erect, single-flowered inflorescences, growing laterally. The [[flower]]s are medium-sized, with equal [[petal]]s and [[sepal]]s. All members of this genus have their flowers dominated by the large, shoe-like, concave [[labellum]] (lip) with a disc-like, toothed crest. The flowers have four elongate [[pollinium|pollinia]], with the upper pollinia long and narrow
