A Peculiar Orchid Orchids outdo any other Hower in beauty. In numbers they represent the largest family of flowering plants. In 1914 Schlechter spoke of some fifteen thousand species. The number has steadily increased since. The word Orchis means "testicle" in Greek and was used because some of the species, especially in the genus Orchis, possess pairs of tubers which are similar in shape to human testicles. Vanilla planifolia is one of the orchids. Its name is of Spanish origin, meaning "little pod." Today about ninety species are known, extending throughout
CHEST, VOL. 62, NO.2, AUGUST 1972
the tropics of both hemispheres. Vanilla's long green fruits hang down in bunches but the rich aroma has to be developed artificially by a tedious and difficult procedure; it imparts an especially good taste to chocolate products, confectionery, liqueurs, ice cream and other foods and delicacies.
