| This finding sheds new light on a recent study on cuticular properties of vascular epiphytes. |
| Cymbidiums and dendrobiums are epiphytes, as are most of the orchids that are commonly cultivated. |
| Those plants which live as epiphytes in the rainforest canopy are subject to intense light and drying winds. |
| Many non-geniculate coralline algae have been suggested to actively inhibit colonization of epiphytes by shedding epithallial cells. |
| They are mostly epiphytes and lithophytes with fleshy or wiry stems that may grow erect or pendant. |
| Their many wild habitats include palm trees, tree holes, arboreal epiphytes, burrows, rock crevices, or other animal refuges. |
