quoting: "distributed in about 763 genera"

One of those genera, seriously, is Dracula. 118 species' worth, in fact, and you've got a D. simia in the lineup. That'd be the monkey orchid. The genus is, in fact, named for the literary character despite being exclusively New World (North, Central, & South America) plant. Many are dark red to black and have assorted fang-like projections on the blooms.

That's most of my orchid knowledge condensed right there. Guess I like my life sciences a little friskier than the floral side.
