Abstract
Trichoglottis is a genus with 86 distinctive, epiphytic, monopodial species distributed from India across southern China and Southeast Asia to Australia and the Pacific Islands. The genus is so-named because of the presence of hair on the midlobe of the lip of the type species, Trichoglottis retusa, from Greek tricho (hair) and glotta (tongue).
Whereas Stauroglottis whose species bear large, branching inflorescences was formerly assigned generic status, it is now brought into Trichoglottis as a subgenus. Eighteen species of Trichoglottis are described and illustrated including four from the subgenus.
