Trichosalpinx, commonly known as the bonnet orchid,[2][3] is a genus of neotropical orchids containing 38 species.[1] The genus is widespread across most of Latin America from northern Mexico to Bolivia, as well as the West Indies.[4]

Trichosalpinx is characterized by the presence of a ringed, ribbed sheath around the stem. The generic name means "trumpet with hair" and refers to this ring.

The genus formerly included over 100 species. Phylogenetic studies concluded that the genus as formerly circumscribed to be polyphyletic, and in 2023 many species were placed in the newly-described genus Karma.[5]
