Vandopsis Explained

Vandopsis, abbreviated as Vdps in horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids in the family Orchidaceae. It contains ca. 5 species found in Southeast Asia, Southern China, the Philippines, and New Guinea. Recently Vandopsis undulata was excluded, as the genus would otherwise be paraphyletic. The species was transferred to the genus Cymbilabia.^[1]
