See text
Ida is a genus of flowering plants in the orchidaceae fami-
ly. It consists of approximately 35 species. The genus was
split off from Lycaste in 2003 by Henry Oakeley and An-
gela Ryan. Species in Lycaste that were endemic to South
America and the Caribbean Islands were placed into the
new genus Ida and those found in Mexico and Central
America stayed in Lycaste. As a result of this change most
of the species previously found in the Lycaste section
Fimbriatae were then moved to the genus Ida. Idas are ei-
ther epiphytes or terrestrial.
