Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Oberonia (Oberon, king of the fairies, because of the quaint flower forms). Orchidaceae. Perhaps 100 tufted epiphytic orchids in Trop. Asia and Austral, and Pacific islands, little known in cult., but of much botanical interest. Lvs. distichous, ensiform or terete: fls. very small, in dense spikes or racemes, in the cult, species yellow, orange or buff; sepals free, equal or nearly so, oblong or broadly ovate, larger than the petals; lip sessile, usually concave, entire or toothed. They probably require warmhouse treatment; some of them will grow on blocks. None of the species seems to be regularly in the trade here, but odd or particular plants are sometimes offered, as O. tahitensis, Lindl. (O. iridifolia. B.M. 4517, not Lindl.), 0. Myosurus, Lindl., O. ensiformis, Lindl.
