Aeranthes, abbreviated Aerth in horticultural trade, is an orchid genus with 47 species, mostly from shady, tropical humid forests in Zimbabwe, Madagascar and islands in the Western Indian Ocean. The name "aeranthes" means 'aerial flower', because it seems to float in the air. Aeranthes has a single short, erect, monopodial stem. The leathery, shining, opposite leaves are arranged in two rows of five to seven leaves, with a length of 15-25 cm.

  • Aeranthes, abbreviated Aerth in horticultural trade, is an orchid genus with 47 species, mostly from shady, tropical humid forests in Zimbabwe, Madagascar and islands in the Western Indian Ocean. The name "aeranthes" means 'aerial flower', because it seems to float in the air. Aeranthes has a single short, erect, monopodial stem. The leathery, shining, opposite leaves are arranged in two rows of five to seven leaves, with a length of 15-25 cm. New leaves are formed at the top of the stem in a monopodial growth pattern. The threadlike flower stalk grows downward to a length of almost 30cm. It carries one or two almost translucent, greenish yellow flowers. The sepals and the shorter petals taper off into five long, narrow shoots. Some give an agreeable, sweet scent in the evening or early morning.
  • Die Gattung Aeranthes aus der Familie der Orchideen (Orchidaceae) besteht aus etwa 50 Arten. Die Pflanzen wachsen meist epiphytisch, sie kommen hauptsächlich auf Madagaskar vor. Gelegentlich werden sie als Zierpflanzen kultiviert, sie bringen überwiegend grünlich gefärbte Blüten hervor.
  • Aeranthes es un género que tiene asignadas 47 especies de orquídeas de hábito epífitas, de la subtribu Angraecinae de la familia Orchidaceae. Se encuentran en las selvas humbrías y húmedas del África tropical Zimbabwe, Madagascar y en las islas del Océano Indico.
