The genus name Cheiridopsis was derived from the Greek words cheiris, meaning sheath, and opsis, which means resembling. This refers to the thin white papery leaf sheaths which cover the next pair of leaves. The sheaths are formed from the previous year’s leaves that have withered away during the dormant resting period. Only a third of the species belonging to the Cheiridopsis genus form leaf sheaths so it is not a distinguishing characteristic. What’s more is that cultivated specimens may not form sheaths at all and Cheiridopsis is such a variable genus that no obvious feature is found in all species.
