Cyrtorchis is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family Orchidaceae native to Africa.[3]
Description
The species of the genus Cyrtorchis are epiphytic or lithophytic herbs,[2] which do not have pseudobulbs.[4] The white, fragrant, star-shaped flowers are distinctly spurred.[1]
Cytology
The diploid chromosome count of Cyrtorchis arcuata is 2n = 46.[5]
Physiology
Cyrtorchis is known to utilize the crassulacean acid metabolism,[5] which entails photosynthesis during the daytime, and gaseous exchange through open stomata during the night. This enables the plant to save water.[6]
Etymology
The generic name Cyrtorchis is composed of the Greek words "kirtos" meaning curved and "orchis" meaning testicles, which refers to orchids.[7]
Taxonomy
The genus has been proven to be monophyletic.[8]
Sections
The genus has been divided into the sections Cyrtorchis section Homocolleticon Summerh. and Cyrtorchis section Cyrtorchis based on differences in the shape of the viscidium.[1] Originally the section Cyrtorchis was published as section Heterocolleticon Summerh., but it is now known as Cyrtorchis section Cyrtorchis.[9][10] The section Homocolleticon is characterized by an uniformly textured viscidium,[11] in contrast to the viscidium of section Cyrtorchis, which consists of two distinct zones.[12]
The section Homocolleticon Summerh. was elevated to a genus by Szlach. & Olszewski in 2001, but Homocolleticon (Summerh.) Szlach. & Olszewski is now a synonym of Cyrtorchis Schltr.[3][9]

As of December 2022, there are 19 currently accepted species:[3]

Species formerly placed in Cyrtorchis
- Cyrtorchis cufodontii Chiov. is now considered to be a synonym of Ypsilopus amaniensis (Kraenzl.) D'haijère & Stévart[13]
- Cyrtorchis refracta (Kraenzl.) Schltr. is now considered to be a synonym of Ancistrorhynchus refractus (Kraenzl.) Summerh.[14]
Ecology
Habitat
It grows in dense forests and rainforests, as well as in plantations. It is found growing on tree trunks and branches, which receive high levels of sunlight.[15] In addition to epiphytic growth, it can also grow as a lithophyte attached to rocks.[2]
Pollination
Several hawk moth species of the genus Hippotion have been identified as likely pollinators of Cyrtorchis okuensis.[16] The white flowers shift to an orange pollination[1][2] after pollination or senescence. Such post-pollination behaviour is not uncommon, and it may be explained by a reduced attractivity of flowers to pollinators,[7][17][18][19] if the flowers are no longer viable. Шаблон:Gallery
Conservation
Two species, namely Cyrtorchis letouzeyi Szlach. & Olszewski and Cyrtorchis henriquesiana (Ridl.) Schltr., have been categorized as species of least concern (LC) under the IUCN Red List criteria.[20][21] Cyrtorchis arcuata subsp. arcuata has been categorized as a Least Concern species by the Red List of South African Plants.[22] Another species, Cyrtorchis glaucifolia Summerh., has been categorized as an endangered (EN) species under the IUCN Red List criteria,[23] and Cyrtorchis okuensis Droissart, Azandi & M.Simo is categorized as Near Threatened (NT).[16]
Horticulture
Cyrtorchis is easy to cultivate in well drained substrate.[1] Cyrtorchis arcuata is most commonly found in private collections.[7]
