Definition of orchidaceous
a. - Pertaining to, or resembling, a natural order (Orchidaceae) of endogenous plants of which the genus Orchis is the type. They are mostly perennial herbs having the stamens and pistils united in a single column, and normally three petals and three sepals, all adherent to the ovary.

About one hundred species occur in the United States, but several thousand in the tropics. ²
