The members of the genus Griffinia are tropical, bulbous plants which grow in high levels of humidity. The leaves are green, petiolate, elliptical, sometimes with white speckles on them. The flowers are typical for the tribe - lilac or blue colored (although there are also white - colored species) and collected into an umbel. Many of the members in this genus are endangered because of the deforestation of their habitat.[6]

Taxonomy

Subgenera

The genus Griffinia is divided into Griffinia subgen. Hyline, in which only Griffinia gardneriana (Herb.) Ravenna and Griffinia nocturna Ravenna are placed, as well as Griffinia subgen. Griffinia, which includes all other species.[7]

Species

As of June 2023, the genus comprises 23 species:[4]

  • Griffinia alba K.D.Preuss & Meerow
  • Griffinia albolineata Campos-Rocha
  • Griffinia angustifolia Campos-Rocha, Dutilh & Semir
  • Griffinia aracensis Ravenna
  • Griffinia arifolia Ravenna
  • Griffinia capixabae Campos-Rocha & Dutilh
  • Griffinia colatinensis Ravenna
  • Griffinia concinna (Mart. ex Schult. & Schult.f.) Ravenna
  • Griffinia espiritensis Ravenna
  • Griffinia gardneriana (Herb.) Ravenna
  • Griffinia hyacinthina (Ker Gawl.) Ker Gawl.
  • Griffinia ilheusiana Ravenna
  • Griffinia intermedia Lindl.
  • Griffinia itambensis Ravenna
  • Griffinia liboniana É.Morren
  • Griffinia meerowiana Campos-Rocha & M.Peixoto
  • Griffinia mucurina Ravenna
  • Griffinia nocturna Ravenna
  • Griffinia ornata T.Moore
  • Griffinia parviflora Ker Gawl.
  • Griffinia paubrasilica Ravenna
  • Griffinia rochae G.M.Morel
  • Griffinia rostrata Ravenna

Conservation

Griffinia intermedia is categorized as endangered (EN) by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is only known from two locations, in which the species, as well as its habitat is continually declining.[8] An initiative has been taken to replicate the fragrance of Griffinia gardneriana, which is threatened with extinction, for the creation of a perfume. The sale of the perfume is meant to financially contribute to the conservation effort for this species.[9]
