Which orchids have seeds that contain endosperm?
After reading this explanation of what allows the seeds of the Bletilla Striata to be so easy development without using in vitro culture i'm curious to known which other type of orchides is similar.

Most have an endosperm that stopped growing at the 4 (or so) cell stage. I didn't know that any orchids had more endosperm. Thanks!

Bletilla formosana
Bletilla ochracea Bletilla striata Disa aurata Disa cardinalis Disa caulescens Disa tripetaloides Disa uniflora These are for certain. They can be grown ex-vitro. If there are others, I'm not sure which they are. |
I'm interested to know that any have this, I did not know that.

Interesting question. From experience I know Spathoglottis and Phaius also have relatively large seeds, like Bletilla. I wouldn't be surprised if these and other close relatives also have some endosperm - but I have no hard evidence to support this, just a guess.
