jumping orchid
A jumping orchid is a type of orchid that has a unique pollination strategy. The plant is named for the way it seemingly 'jumps' to spread its pollen, usually through a trigger mechanism that propels the pollen onto a visiting insect. This dramatic action gives the orchid its nickname and distinguishes it from most other species. The actual 'jumping' action is generally caused by a sensitive labellum (or lip) that moves when contacted. This specialized pollination strategy ensures that its pollen is disseminated effectively for reproduction. Notable examples of 'jumping orchids' are found among the Australian genus Drakaea and the South American genus Coryanthes.
