− | '''''Aerides''''' or the '''Cat's-tail Orchid''' or the '''Fox Brush Orchid''', is a genus belonging to the Orchid family ([[Orchidaceae]]) (subfamily [[Epidendroideae]], tribe [[Vandeae]], subtribe [[Sarcanthinae]]).
| + | ==Cultivation== |
− | | + | {{edit-cult}}<!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> |
− | They occur mainly in Asia : the Indian subcontinent, Nepal, Southern China, SE Asia, the Philippines, New Guinea.
| |
− | | |
− | They form pendulous [[raceme]]s with many fragrant, long-lasting, waxy [[flower]]s, in white, (rarely) yellow, purple or pink colors, with a forward facing spur, growing on stout many-leaved [[Plant stem|stems]] from the leaf axils.
| |
− | | |
− | The [[Leaf |leaves]] grow distichously (in two vertical rows). The leaf margins are bilobed, while the apex is emarginate.
| |
| | | |
− | There are [[ligule]]s. Morphologically, they are very similar to [[Vanda]].
