''Prosthechea cochleata'', formerly known as ''Encyclia cochleata'', ''Anacheilium cochleatum'', and ''Epidendrum cochleatum'' and commonly referred to as the clamshell orchid or cockleshell orchid, is an epiphytic, sympodial New World orchid native to Central America, the West Indies, Colombia, Venezuela, and southern Florida.〔(Encyclia cochleata )〕 Each oblong discoid pseudobulb bears one or two linear nonsucculent leaves. The flowers are unusual in that though the labellum is usually below the column in the orchids, in the members of ''Prosthechea'' the labellum forms a "hood" over the column. This makes the flower effectively upside down, or non-resupinate. Whereas the species usually has one anther, ''Prosthechea cochleata var. triandra'' is an endangered variety that has three anthers and is autogamous, allowing its existence in Florida where no appropriate pollinators appear to be present.〔(Prosthechea cochleata var. triandra in Flora of North America @ efloras.org )〕 ''P. cochleata'' is common in cultivation, and is valued for its uniquely shaped and long-lasting flowers on continually growing racemes. Several hybrids have been produced with this species, including the popular ''Prosthechea'' Green Hornet.〔(Prosthechea Green Hornet at Royal Horticultural Society Orchid Register )〕 (still often listed as ''Encyclia'' Green Hornet) ''Prosthechea cochleata'' is the national flower of Belize, where it is known as the black orchid. == References ==
