Elythranthera - Enamel Orchids
Back to Orchids

This genus contains two species, both of which have bright petals that have a shiny appearance like enamel. E. emarginata is the larger of the two with flowers up to 5cm. An interesting feature of these flowers is that the underside is as striking as the top side of the flowers!
