Bathiea Schltr.

Neobathiea, abbreviated as Nbth in the horticultural trade,[1] is a genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae), native to tropical moist broadleaf forests of Madagascar and the Comoro Islands. The genus is named for the French botanist Henri Perrier de la Bâthie.[2]

The species include small, monopodial epiphytes, with relatively large white, green, or green-and-white flowers with a long spur at the base of the lip.

Pollination

[edit | edit source]

Pollination occurs through hawkmoths. The separation of species is upheld by flower constancy of pollinators.[3]
