Oberonioides is a genus of orchids native to China and Thailand.[1] Only two species are known:[2][3]

  • Oberonioides oberoniiflora (Seidenf.) Szlach. - Thailand
  • Oberonioides pusillus (Rolfe) Marg. & Szlach. - Jiangxi, Fujian, Taiwan

The genus name of Oberonioides is derived from Oberon, a king of the fairies in medieval and Renaissance literature.[4]

The genus was circumscribed by Dariusz Lucjan Szlachetko in Fragm. Florist. Geobot. Suppl. vol.3 on page 134 in 1995.
