Genera & Species Assessment

Phase I is a SELF TEST of your knowledge of common orchid species. The results are not shared with others,

but will serve as your personal study guide.

Each species has a significant contribution to hybrids.

You will have 15 seconds for each slide.

As you view each slide, write down the Genera (1pt), genera abbreviation (1pt) & species name (2pts).

Remember to keep going & not stress over the previous slide
