Vanda is a genus in the orchid family (Orchidaceae)
which, although not large (about fifty species), is one of the most
important florally. This genus and its allies are considered to be the
most highly evolved of all orchids within Orchidaceae. The genus is very
highly prized in horticulture for its showy, fragrant, long lasting,
and intensely colorful flowers. Vanda is widespread across East Asia,
Southeast Asia, and New Guinea, with a few species extending into
Queensland and some of the islands of the western Pacific.
