Abstract
Vandopsis is a small genus of hardy, monopodial, epiphytic orchids with only five species distributed from Himalaya and China through Southeast Asia reaching up to New Guinea. Vandopsis are stout, erect plants with broad, coriaceous strap leaves. Inflorescence is simple, stout, erect or arching with numerous flowers of heavy texture. Vandopsis is related to Arachnis and Trichoglottis. Bred to other Vandaceous genera, Vandopsis gigantea and Vdps. lissochiloides conferred thick texture to the flowers.
