Bromheadia
Bromheadia, commonly known as reed orchids, is a genus of about 29 species of orchids in the family Orchidaceae. They are evergreen terrestrial and epiphytic plants with unbranched stems, the leaves arranged in two rows along the flowering stem. The flowers appear in succession near the end of the flowering stem with the sepals and petals free from each other. The labellum is like a landing platform and has three lobes. They are native to areas from tropical Asia to northern Australia.
Orchids in the genus Bromheadia are found in the region stretching from Myanmar and Vietnam south to Java and east to New Guinea and the Philippines, with a few species extending to Sri Lanka and Queensland.
