thumb ''Cirrhopetalum'', abbreviated as Cirr in hortcultural trade, is a genus of epiphyte orchids (family Orchidaceae, subfamily Epidendroideae). This genus is very closely related to ''Bulbophyllum'' and its members have been until recently considered to be in the genus ''Bulbophyllum''. The taxon name comes from Latin ''cirrus'' (''fringe'') and Greek ''petalon'' (''petal''), hence meaning ''fringed-petaled''. ==Description== Plants in this genus are usually small plants with creeping rhizomes. Features that distinguish this genus from ''Bulbophyllum'' are: *The dorsal sepal of ''Cirrhopetalum'' is much smaller than the usually inrolled lateral sepal which has adnate margins. *There is generally an umbellate inflorescence which can be upright, pendulous or arching. *The pseudobulbs are conical-shaped and obscurely angled with a single spoon-like leaf atop each pseudobulb. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cirrhopetalum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
