TÆNIOPHYLLUM (from fainia, a band, and 
phyllon, a leaf; in reference to the linear leaves). 
Orv. Orchidew, A genus embracing about half-a-dozen 
species of stove or greenhouse, dwarf, epiphytal Orchids, 
almost stemless and leafless, or with a tuft of linear 
leaves; they are natives of the East Indies, the Malayan 
Archipelago, the Pacific Islands, and Australia. Flowers 
minute, in small racemes; sepals and petals nearly equal, 
erect or connivent, connate at base; lip adnate to the 
column at base, and produced into a short spur or pouch; 
pollen masses four, in two pairs. None of the species 
have been introduced. 
TZ:NIOPSIS. Included under Vittaria (which see). 
TZEENITIS (from fainia, a fillet or ribbon; alluding to 
tho linear pinne). Including Cuspidaria, Newrodium, 
Paltonium, and Pteropsis. ORD. Filices. A small genus 
(five species) of interesting, stove Ferns, all tropical, but 
not very closely allied. Sori linear, but the line sometimes 
interrupted, central or sub-marginal. Some of the species 
scarcely differ from Twniopsis [included under Vittaria] in 
fruit, but in all those placed here the veins anastomose. 
The following species have been introduced. For culture, 
see Ferns.
