See text Galeola is a genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae) belonging to the subfamily Vanilloideae.

[1] All species in this genus are myco-heterotrophic, i.e. they are parasitic upon fungi.

The genus is spread throughout southeast Asia (from India to China to New Guinea) as well as Madagascar and Comoros.

[2] Galeola is of biological interest because of its exclusive myco-heterotrophic nature and its seeds.
