Habenaria Willd.
Chinese name: Yufeng hua (phoenix/heron flower) Japanese name: Mizu Tombo Sanskrit name: Riddhi Habenaria Willd. is an intriguing genus of orchids with cultural significance across different regions.

This adaptation enables the orchid to endure and thrive in specific climatic conditions. The generic name "Habenaria" has its roots in Latin, derived from "habena," which translates to bridle, whip, strap, or veins. This description reflects the thread-like fringe found on the lip of some Habenaria species, adding to the beauty and intrigue of these orchids.
