Catasetum, abbreviated as Ctsm in horticultural trade, is a genus of the Orchid family (Orchidaceae), subfamily Epidendroideae, tribe Cymbidieae, subtribe Catasetinae, with 166 species. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic The Epidendroideae, or epidendroid Orchids are a Subfamily of the orchid family ( Orchidaceae)
Species of the genus Catasetum occur from Mexico to tropical America, with the majority in Brazil. The United Mexican States ( or commonly Mexico (ˈmɛksɪkoʊ () is a federal constitutional Republic in North America. |utc_offset = -2 to -4 |time_zone_DST = BRST |utc_offset_DST = -2 to -5 |cctld
They have thick, cigar-shaped pseudobulbs which are clustered. The pseudobulb is a Storage organ derived from the part of a stem between two leaf nodes The leaves are pleated in the upper part and deciduous. In Botany, a leaf is an above-ground Plant organ specialized for Photosynthesis. The pseudobulbs become spiny after the leaves have dropped.
The inflorescence is borne on the basis. An inflorescence is a group or cluster of Flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main Branch or a complicated arrangement of branches It consists of very fleshy flowers that are unisexual, which is exceptional for orchids. A flower, also known as a bloom or Blossom, is the reproductive structure found in Flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also The colorful male and yellowish-green female flowers are typically situated on different plants. Which type of flower a plant produces is determined by the conditions under which it grows. There are rare cases in which a single plant in intermediate conditions will produce both male and female flowers. These flowers are markedly different in size and color. At first, taxonomists even thought they were dealing with different species.
The male flowers have a remarkable technique for the ejection of the pollinia. Pollinium, or plural pollinia, is a coherent mass of Pollen grains Sack-Shaped Catasetum (Catasetum saccatum), a tropical South American species, discussed briefly by Darwin, actually launches its viscid pollen sacs with explosive force, when an insect touches a seta. Charles Robert Darwin (February 12 1809 &ndash April 19 1882 was an English naturalist, who realised and demonstrated that all Species of life Seta (plural setae) is a biological term derived from the Latin word for " Bristle " He was ridiculed for reporting this by the naturalist Thomas Huxley. Thomas Henry Huxley PC FRS (4 May 1825 – 29 June 1895 was an English Biologist, known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his advocacy
