Physurus (Greek, bladder and tail; from the purse or pouch-like spur). Orchidaceae. Of the type of Good-yera and Anoectochilus, and cultivated for the foliage. By late authors, the name Erythrodes is used for these orchids for nomenclatorial and botanical reasons. Stem simple, erect, leafy: lvs. petiolate, ovate to lanceolate: fls. small, in a terminal raceme; petals and dorsal sepals cohering, galeate; lateral sepals free; labellum spurred, strongly concave above the entrance of the spur and abruptly contracted, middle lobe spreading or recurved; column short. About 40 species, native of the warm regions of Asia and Amer. The American species have their lvs. mostly spotted. P. validus, Rolfe. Lvs. elliptic-lanceolate, about 5 in. long: ecape etout, bearing an elongated dense spike about 0 in. long: fls. small, whitish. Peru.
