Peru. S. pallida, Lindl.

'''''Stenia''''' is a small, genus from the orchid family ([[Orchidaceae]])
==Cultivation==
 
{{edit-cult}}<!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->
This [[epiphyte|epiphytic]] plants occur in warm, humid habitats of [[Trinidad]] and tropical South America.
 
This genus as a rule lacks [[pseudobulb]]s and consequently produces tufted fan-like growths of fairly erect narrow, short [[Leaf|leaves]], and conforms to the [[sympodial]] method of growth.
 
Plants of this genus produce a short, creeping or erect, single-flowered inflorescences, growing laterally. The [[flower]]s are medium-sized, with equal [[petal]]s and [[sepal]]s. All members of this genus have their flowers dominated by the large, shoe-like, concave [[labellum]] (lip) with a disc-like, toothed crest. The flowers have four elongate [[pollinium|pollinia]], with the upper pollinia long and narrow


They  occur at any time of the year, though slightly more concentrated during summer in cultivation.
