Lycaste

▪ plant genus
      genus of about 45 species of tropical American orchids, family Orchidaceae, that grow on other plants or in soil. The sepals of Lycaste flowers are larger than the petals.

      Each thick, egg-shaped pseudobulb (swollen stem) has one to three large, folded leaves that fall before the long-lasting flowers die. A number of flower stalks grow from the base of each pseudobulb.
