Doritis is a genus of small to medium-sized, predominantly terrestrial plants native to southeast Asia. With the publication of Genera Orchidacearum volume 6, all Doritis species are now included in the genus Phalaenopsis . The showy, medium-sized flowers are produced on stiffly erect inflorescences, an adaptation resulting from their terrestrial habitat. The name Doritis is derived either from the Greek dory, spear – an allusion to the lip shape or from Doritis, a name given to the goddess Aphrodite. Doritis usually bloom during the summer and are characterized by a dark, cerise color, which is shared with many of its hybrid progeny (the bright red lip of many hybrid Doritaenopsis is believed to be inherited from the Doritis background as well). The most commonly grown species of this is D. pulcherrima.
