An epiphytic orchid is one type of orchid that has the characteristics of habitat attached to the host tree. Mount Gede Pangrango, especially in the Cibereum waterfall, Selabintana, is a tropical forest area with many large host trees with a lush canopy, causing the epiphytic orchid species to form be abundant in the area. This study aims to determine the type and characteristics of the host tree used as a habitat for epiphytic orchids in the Cibereum waterfall path. The research method is to make ten plots on the right and left sides of the path, with each plot measuring 500x5 m and the distance between plots is 100 m. The results showed that on the Cibereum waterfall path, 33 species of host trees were found, consisting of 20 families. At the same time, the types of orchids found were 31 species from 12 genera. Almost all of the orchid hosts are trees, except for Brassaiopsis glomerulata are shrubs and Cyathea sp are poles. The characteristics of host trees as habitat for epiphytic orchids are: 4-51 m tall, trunk diameter 7-89 cm, canopy width 0-20 m, bark thickness 0-1.2 cm, bark texture rough to medium, generally colored brown, has no sap except for Ficus variegata, the surface of the trunk contains moss, and the epiphytic orchid growth zone on the host tree is mostly found in zones III and IV.

The Curug Cibereum tourist area located in Selabintana, Sukabumi, is part of the Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park which consists of various types of orchids. This study aims to determine the types of epiphytic orchids in the Cibereum Curug Path based on the morphological characterization of epiphytic orchids, both stems, leaves, and flowers. The results of the study found as many as 31 species of epiphytic orchids from 11 genera. Based on the morphological observations of stems, pseudobulbs, leaves, and flowers on each type of epiphytic orchid, each has its characteristics. Observation of stem growth morphology found monopodial and sympodial orchids. The stems are found to belong short and do not even have stems but have pseudobulbs. The shape of the pseudobulb was found to be round, flattened, oval, and oval. Then for the shape of the leaves found lanceolate, oval, needle, and ovoid. As for the shape of flowers, each type has various shapes and colors. Some are big or small according to the species   Keywords: Epiphytic Orchid, Cibereum Waterfall, Morphology, Characterization, Pseudobulb

Banyak Angkrem and Kedung Kopong are medium lowland tropical rain forest areas where many types of orchids can be found. This study aims to determine the types and diversity of orchids found in the area of ​​Banyak Angkrem and Kedung Kopong. Data was collected using the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method with a radius to the right and to the left  5 m from the observation path with a research area ​​6.24 ha. The results showed that in the two areas found 15 species of orchids consisting of 10 species of epiphytic orchids (Acriopsis lilifolia, Agrostophyllum laxum, Bulbophyllum sp 1, Bulbophyllum sp 2, Dendrobium sagittatum, Dendrobium sp, Oberonia lotsyana, Pholidota sp, Polystaschya concreta, Vanila. planifolia) and 5 species of terrestrial orchids (Geodorum densivelorum, Malaxis ophrydis, Malaxis sp, Nervilia plicata, Perystilus goodyroides). The level of diversity (H ') of orchids in the two regions is classified as moderate with an H' value of 2.22
