Description

Orchids are easily distinguished from other plants, as they share some very evident, shared derived characteristics, or synapomorphies. Among these are: bilateral symmetry of the flower zygomorphism, many resupinate flowers, a nearly always highly modified petal labellum, fused stamens and carpels, and extremely small seeds.
