'''''Calanthe''''', commonly known as '''Christmas orchids''',<ref name="Jones">{{cite book|last1=Jones|first1=David L.|title=A complete guide to native orchids of Australia including the island territories|date=2006|publisher=New Holland|location=Frenchs Forest, N.S.W.|isbn=1877069124|page =353}}</ref> is a [[genus]] of about 220 species of [[orchid]]s in the [[Family (biology)|family]] Orchidaceae. They are [[evergreen]] or [[deciduous]] [[Terrestrial plant|terrestrial]] plants with thick roots, small oval [[pseudobulb]]s, large corrugated leaves and upright, sometimes arching flowering stems. The [[sepal]]s and [[petal]]s are narrow and a similar size to each other and the [[Labellum (botany)|labellum]] usually has spreading lobes.

==Description==
Orchids in the genus ''Calanthe'' are terrestrial with small, crowded pseudobulbs with thick roots and a few corrugated or wrinkled leaves with the base tapering to a [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]]-like stalk. Some species are evergreen while others are deciduous. The flowers are delicate but showy, white, pink, yellow or orange and crowded near the end of an erect, sometimes arching flowering stem. The sepals and petals are relatively narrow, similar in size and spread widely. The labellum has three or four spreading lobes and in most species there is a spur at the base. Unlike similar orchids, the labellum of ''Calanthe'' orchids is fused to the [[Column (botany)|column]].<ref name="Jones" /><ref name="La Croix">{{cite book |last1=La Croix |first1=Isobyl F. |title=The new encyclopedia of orchids : 1500 species in cultivation |date=2008 |publisher=Timber Press |isbn=9780881928761 |page=78}}</ref><ref name=Sasaki>{{cite book |last=Sasaki |first=Sanmi |translator=Shaun McCabe |translator2=Iwasaki Satoko |title=Chado the Way of Tea: A Japanese Tea Master's Almanac |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cEzCY5cB3icC&pg=PA195 |year=2005 |publisher=Tuttle |isbn=978-0-8048-3716-3 |pages=195–196}}</ref><ref name="Soon">{{cite book |last1=Soon |first1=Teoh Eng |title=Orchids of Asia |date=2005 |publisher=Times Editions- Marshall Cavendish |isbn=9812610154 |page=146 |edition=3rdition}}</ref><ref name="ATROK">{{cite web |author1=D.L.Jones |author2=T.Hopley |author3=S.M.Duffy |author1-link=David L.

==Taxonomy and naming==
The genus ''Calanthe'' was first formally described in 1821 by [[Robert Brown (botanist, born 1773)|Robert Brown]] and his manuscript was published in ''[[The Botanical Register]]''.<ref name="WCSP">{{WCSP | 30038 | ''Calanthe'' }}</ref><ref name="Ridgways">{{cite book |last1=Ridgway |first1=James |title=The Botanical Register (Volume 7) |date=1821 |publisher=Ridgways |location=London |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/9043#page/186/mode/1up |access-date=8 September 2018}}</ref> The name ''Calanthe'' is derived from the [[Ancient Greek]] words ''kallos'' meaning "beauty"<ref name="RWB">{{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Roland Wilbur|title=The Composition of Scientific Words|date=1956|publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press|location=Washington, D.C.}}</ref>{{rp|131}} and ''anthos'' meaning "flower".<ref name="RWB" />{{rp|94}}

==Distribution and habitat==
''Calanthe'' species are found in all [[Tropics|tropical]] areas, but mostly concentrated in [[Southeast Asia]]. Some species also range into [[subtropical]] lands such as [[China]], [[India]], [[Madagascar]], [[Australia]], [[Mexico]], [[Central America]], the [[West Indies]] and various islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.<ref name="WCSP" />
