Earina is a genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae).
At the present time (June 2014), 7 species are recognized, native to various islands in the Pacific Ocean.
[1] The New Zealand species are all epiphytic, or sometimes lithophytic, found growing on mossy trunks in the rain forests of both the North and South Islands.
The strap-shaped leaves grow from pendulous wire-thin pseudobulbs that arise from creeping rhizomes.
The flowers are tiny, typically less than 1 cm across, but are produced in abundance.
