Neobathiea


Neobathiea, abbreviated as Nbth in the horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids, native to tropical [moist broadleaf forests] of Madagascar and the Comoro Islands. The genus is named for the French botanist Henri Perrier de [la Bâthie].
The species include small, monopodial epiphytes, with relatively large white, green, or green-and-white flowers with a long spur at the base of the lip.

Pollination

Pollination occurs through hawkmoths. The separation of species is upheld by flower constancy of pollinators.
