Haemaria (Greek, referring to the blood-red under surf ace of the leaves). Orchidaceae. Terrestrial orchids, known to the trade chiefly as Goodyera. They are really dwarf stove foliage plants, and are to be cultivated like Anoectochilus.

In Haemaria the lower lip is swelled above its base into a wide claw and is provided with a pouch-like sac at base, and a blade of 2 divergent lobes; in Goodyera the blade of the lip is small and not clawed. Both genera belong to a large group in which the lip either has no spur or sac, or if the latter is present, it is included between the sepals; while in Anoectochilus the lip has a prominent sac or spur projecting between the lateral sepals.—Four species, in China and Malaya.

The leaves of H. discolor are green above and red below. It is, however, not nearly so brilliant as Haemaria dawsoniana, which has the same red color beneath, and is beautifully netted above with red or yellow. In both species a dozen or more small flowers, chiefly white, are borne on a densely hairy scape. These plants seem much easier to cultivate than anoectochilus and can be grown in large, shallow pans, with the rhizomes creeping in sphagnum.
