It is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico , to the north by ___MASK28___ and Georgia , to the east by the Atlantic Ocean , and to the south by the Straits of Florida and Cuba . Florida is the 22nd most extensive , the 3rd most populous , and the 8th most densely populated of the U . S . states . Jacksonville is the most populous municipality in the state and is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States . The Miami metropolitan area is Florida ' s most populous urban area . The city of Tallahassee is the state capital . ___MASK45___ is a genus of orchids classified in the ___MASK97___ subtribe . It is native to Mexico , Central America , the West Indies , and northern South America , with one species (" B . caudata ") extending into Florida . × Bakerara , abbreviated Bak . in the horticultural trade , is the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between the orchid genera ___MASK45___ , Miltonia and Odontoglossum ( Brs . x Milt . x Odm . x Onc . ) . An epiphyte is a ___MASK91___ that grows harmlessly upon another ___MASK91___ ( such as a tree ) and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air , rain , and sometimes from debris accumulating around it . Epiphytes differ from parasites in that epiphytes grow on other plants for physical support and do not necessarily negatively affect the host . An epiphytic organism that is not a ___MASK91___ is called an epibiont . Epiphytes are usually found in the temperate zone ( e . g ., many mosses , liverworts , lichens , and algae ) or in the tropics ( e . g ., many ___MASK50___ , cacti , orchids , and bromeliads ). Epiphyte species make good houseplants due to their minimal water and soil requirements . Epiphytes provide a rich and diverse habitat for other organisms including animals , ___MASK10___ , ___MASK37___ , and myxomycetes . ___MASK81___ , abbreviated Milt . in the horticultural trade , is an orchid genus formed by nine epiphyte species and eight natural hybrids inhabitants of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest , one species reaching the northeast of Argentina and east of Paraguay . This genus was established by John Lindley in 1837 , when he described its type species , " ___MASK81___ spectabilis ". Many species were attributed to " ___MASK81___ " in the past , however , today , the species from Central America and from cooler ___MASK53___ on northwest of South America have been moved to other genera . " ___MASK81___ " species have large and long lasting flowers , often in multifloral inflorescences . This fact , allied to being species that are easy to grow and to identify , make them a favorite of orchid collectors all over the world . Species of this genus are extensively used to produce artificial hybrids . The Atlantic Forest is a terrestrial biome and region which extends along the Atlantic coast of Brazil from Rio Grande do Norte state in the north to Rio Grande do Sul state in the south , and inland as far as Paraguay and the Misiones Province of ___MASK82___ , where the region is known as Selva Misionera . ___MASK71___ , first named in 1816 by Karl Sigismund Kunth , is a genus of about 100 orchids . The scientific name is derived from the Greek words " odon " ( tooth ) and " glossa " ( tongue ), referring to the two tooth - like calluses on the base of the lip . This genus of cool to cold growing orchids is to be found on open spots in the humid cloud forest at higher elevations from Central - and West South America to Guyana , with most species around the northern Andes . The abbreviation for this genus is Odm . in the horticultural trade . An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches . Morphologically , it is the part of the shoot of ___MASK64___ where flowers are formed and which is accordingly modified . The modifications can involve the length and the nature of the internodes and the phyllotaxis , as well as variations in the proportions , compressions , swellings , adnations , connations and reduction of main and secondary axes . Inflorescence can also be defined as the reproductive portion of a plant that bears a cluster of flowers in a specific pattern . Mexico (, modern Nahuatl ), officially the United Mexican States , is a federal republic in the southern half of North America . It is bordered to the north by the United States ; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean ; to the southeast by Guatemala , Belize , and the Caribbean Sea ; and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico .

This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 megadiverse countries , and is the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection . ___MASK82___ , officially the Argentine Republic , is a federal republic in the southern half of South America .
