'''Zygopetalum''' is a [[genus]] of the [[orchid]] family, consisting of about (40 according to American Horticultural Society / 16 according to Flora) species of medium-sized, evergreen, epiphytic or terrestrial orchids which are natives of humid forests at low- to mid-elevation parts [[South America]], primarily Brazil.
 +
 +
The pseudobulbs are conical to ovoid and produce 2 or more narrowly elongated leaves, shaped like a lance, folded and leathery or fleshy.
 +
 +
Racemes are produced with highly fragrant, waxy, delicate and long-lived flowers, most of which have rich green-brown and indigo-blue colors and come in several patterns.  They are erect, about 60 centimeter-long, few-flowered to several-flowered stems that grows laterally longer than the leaves.
 +
 +
They are known for their ease of culture and are much in demand as excellent cut flowers.
 +
 +
Zygopetalums are hardy orchids that enjoy similar conditions to [[cymbidium]]s, and are often grown with them.
