Vanda orchids were started by Sir W. Jones in 1795, and his orchid is named Vanda roxburghii. There are two separate types of Vandas--the strap-leaved variety like the Vanda Luzonica,and a terete-leafed (tubular) type, such as the Vanda teres. There is also a semi-terete variety. Strap-leaved Vandas have very flat and leathery leaves. Terete orchids have pencil-shape leaves that taper and are circular in transverse cross-section. Semi-terete leaves are pencil shaped and tapered but are not circular.
