Young orchid rooting on palm - a photo on Flickriver

Schomburgkia, pronounced schom-BURK-ee-ah is a genus of Orchidaceae. The genus was named in honor of Sir Richard Schomburgk (1811-1891) who explored and collected extensively in Guyana and became Director of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens in Australia. Species in this genus are epiphytic or lithophytic. According to the Royal Horticultural Society, Schom is the official abbreviation for this genus.

An epiphyte is an organism that grows on the surface of a plant and receives moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it. A lithophyte is a plant that grows on rock.
