Neuwiedia is a small genus of primitive terrestrial orchids, with about nine species from China, Southeast Asia and parts of the Pacific. They grow in shaded forest floors and are rarely grown in gardens, so care advice is based on their shaded, humid woodland habitat.
Neuwiedia is a genus of primitive terrestrial orchids (family Orchidaceae), comprising 9 species native to China, Southeast Asia and certain Pacific Islands.
The two genera in the subfamily Apostasioideae, Apostasia and Neuwiedia, differ from most other orchids in having three stamens. Recent studies suggest that the fifteen or so species in these two genera, although exhibiting "primitive" features, are "sister" genera rather than ancestors of other orchid families.
