Triceratorhynchus is a genus of flowering plants of the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is native to central Africa: Cameroon, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, and Kenya.[2][3][4]
The species are dwarf epiphytes with short stems, which bear many leaves. The leaf shape is oblong or lanceolate.[5]
The inflorescences produce one to many small, spurred, inconspicuous flowers.[5]
The genus was described in 1951 by the British botanist Victor Samuel Summerhayes (1897–1974).[2] His concept of the genus only included the type species, which he described as Triceratorhynchus viridiflorus Summerh.[1] The other two species of the genus were formerly placed in Distylodon Summerh., which is a synonym of Triceratorhynchus.[2] Therefore, the genus now consists of three species.[5][2]
The generic name Triceratorhynchus is composed of the three Greek words tri (three), keras (horn) and rhynchos (beak or snout), which refer to aspects of the floral structure.[1]
The species of this genus are not cultivated.[1]
