A genus of small, primitive orchids or a term referring to a primitive reproductive structure in certain plants.
From Greek 'archi-' (primitive, first) with botanical Latin suffix '-idium' (diminutive). Used in botanical taxonomy to classify primitive orchid species.
Archidium orchids are so small and inconspicuous that most people never notice them, yet they represent an important evolutionary bridge showing how modern showy orchids evolved from humble ancestors.
