Cereinae

The Cereinae are a subtribe within the orchid tribe Orchideae, belonging to the subfamily Orchidoideae of the orchid family (Orchidaceae). This subtribe is characterized by specific morphological and genetic features, distinguishing it from other orchid groups. Members of Cereinae typically possess terrestrial habits and are found in various habitats. Taxonomically, the classification and circumscription of Cereinae may vary depending on the author and the phylogenetic analyses employed, reflecting ongoing research into orchid evolution and relationships. Further research continues to refine our understanding of the diversity and evolutionary history of the Cereinae.
