Abstract
The genus Dendrobium Swartz, of the subtribe Dendrobiinae, comprises over 1,000 species, making it one of the largest genera of Orchidaceae (3). Species are distributed from Japan to Tasmania and India to Polynesia, with the greatest concentration in New Guinea and Java. Their habitats range from tropical sea-level areas to cool mountain climates, and the genus has been sub-classified into sections based upon the diverse vegetative and floral characteristics of the species. Members of this genus have been cultivated and hybridized for over a century and have been used as garden, exhibition, and cut flowers.

The wholesale value of potted orchids (Orchidaceae) in the United States has risen 80% in the last decade to $126 million in 2007. However, market-related information concerning consumer demand is still very limited. The objective of this study was to identify consumer preferences affecting orchid purchases and the relative importance of different orchid attributes, including species, price, size, and color. A survey to assess orchid market preferences was conducted in Akatsuka Orchid Gardens, headquartered on the Island of Hawaii during the Spring 2008. A conjoint analysis was developed to analyze consumer preferences for orchid attributes. Hawaii is the third largest orchid-consuming state in terms of sales, with $16.8 million in 2007. Most respondents (57.8%) were able to identify the specific orchid species they bought, but a large portion (42.2%) was not able to identify any orchid species. The conjoint analysis results revealed that price was the most important factor affecting the purchasing decision, representing 30.90% of influence, followed by size (26.28%) and species (25.58%), while color (17.23%) was the least important orchid attribute.
, and Phalaenopsis were the most traded ( De and Medhi, 2015 ). The first orchid hybrid was obtained in 1853 by John Dominy and since then, thousands of hybrids have been developed ( Higgins and Alrich, 2013 ). In Chile, the Orchidaceae family is
