Pleurothallis
''Pleurothallis'', abbreviated Pths in horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids commonly named bonnet orchids. The genus name is derived from the Greek word 'pleurothallos', meaning 'riblike branches'. This refers to the rib-like stems of many species.
This was a huge genus, which used to contain more than 1,200 species - the second largest in the Orchidaceae after ''Bulbophyllum''. In 2004, it decreased by more than half when many species were moved into new genera.〔(''Monogr. Syst. Bot. Missouri Bot. Gard.'' 95: 256. Feb 2004).〕
==Distribution==
''Pleurothallis'' is a completely New World group, widespread across much of Mexico, Central America, South America and the West Indies.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, ''Pleurothallis'' )〕 Flora of North America〔(Flora of North America v 26 p 617, ''Pleurothallis gelida'' )〕 lists one species in Florida ''(P. gelina)'' but this has now been transferred to a different genus, ''Stelis''.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, ''Pleurothallis gelida'' )〕 The center of diversity of the genus is in the high Andes, especially in the chain of cloud forests in Colombia. ''Pleurothallis'' grows in dry or wet, tropical or temperate climates.
