Description

The name comes from the Greek ὄρχις (órkhis), literally meaning "testicle", because of the shape of the root.[4][5]. Linnaeus categorized the family as Orchidaceae. Orchid was introduced in 1845 by John Lindley in School Botany, due to an incorrect attempt to extract the Latin stem (orchis) from Orchidaceae.
