Trichosalpinx, commonly known as the bonnet orchid,[2][3] is a genus of about 100 species of neotropical orchid. The genus is widespread across most of Latin America from northern Mexico to Bolivia, as well as the West Indies.[1]

Trichosalpinx is characterized by the presence of a ringed, ribbed sheath around the stem. The generic name means "trumpet with hair" and refers to this ring.
