Geodorum, commonly known as shepherds' crooks[1] or 地宝兰属 (di bao lan shu),[2] is a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. They are deciduous, terrestrial herbs with underground pseudobulbs, broad, pleated leaves and small to medium-sized, tube-shaped or bell-shaped flowers on a flowering stem with a drooping end. Species in this genus are found in southern Japan, tropical Asia, Australia and islands of the southwest Pacific Ocean.
Description
Orchids in the genus Geodorum are deciduous, terrestrial herbs with pseudobulbs underground but close to the surface. There are several pleated leaves emerging from the pseudobulb, the largest at the top. Each leaf has a stalk which wraps around those below it. The flower stalk also emerges from the pseudobulb and bears a few to many bell-shaped or tubular flowers. The sepals and petals are similar in size and shape and do not spread widely apart from each other, so that the flowers do not open widely. The portion of the flowering stem carrying flowers droops, so that although the flowers are non-resupinate, the labellum is the lowest part of the flower. The labellum has three lobes but lacks the spur or pouch of orchids in the similar genus Eulophia.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
The first formal description of Geodorum appeared in The Botanist's Repository for New, and Rare Plants edited by Henry Cranke Andrews.[4][5] There is a description and an illustration of Geodorum citrinum, now known as Geodorum terrestre.[6] The illustration was the work of Andrews but although not recognised in the book, the description is believed to be the work of George Jackson.[7] The name Geodorum is derived from the Ancient Greek words ge meaning "earth"[8]Шаблон:Rp and doron meaning "leaf",[8]Шаблон:Rp apparently referring to the terrestrial habit of orchids in this genus.[3]
