Sarcanthopsis, commonly known as goliath orchids,[2] is a genus of six species of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Plants in this genus are large epiphytes or lithophytes with long, thick, leathery stems, large, crowded leathery leaves and many yellowish flowers on a branched flowering stem. Orchids in this genus occur in New Guinea and islands of the south-west Pacific.
Orchids in the Sarcanthopsis are large epiphytic or lithophytic monopodial plants with smooth leaves and stems up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) long. A large number of leathery oblong leaves folded lengthwise have their bases wrapped around the stem. Yellowish resupinate flowers with brown spots, 20–30 millimetres (0.79–1.2 in) in diameter are arranged on a branching flowering stem and face in many different directions. The sepals and petals are free from and similar to each other in size and shape. The labellum is rigidly fixed to the column and has three lobes, a concave upper "hypochile" and lower "epichile" and a sharp bend in its middle.[2][3][4][5]
The genus Sarcanthopsis was first formally described in 1972 by Leslie Andrew Garay and the description was published in Harvard University Botanical Museum Leaflets.[1] The name Sarcanthopsis refers to the similarity of orchids in this genus to those in the genus Sarcanthus, now known as Cleisostoma. The ending -opsis is an Ancient Greek suffix meaning "having the appearance of" or "like".[6][5]
