Orchidaceae is normally called the Orchid family. It is a widespread and morphologically diverse family of monocots that is in the order of Asparagales. Scientists think that it is presently the biggest family of flowering plants with up to 26,000 accepted species across 880 genera. The quantity of species of orchids is presently double that of the number of species of birds and even four times the number of species of mammals. It makes up between six and eleven percent of seed plants.
