Opriris

Opriris is a name used in fictional and speculative contexts to denote a genus of flowering plants. It is not recognized as a valid taxon by major botanical authorities.

As of this writing, no formal description has been published meeting the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN). No type specimen is designated, and no publication has validated the genus in recognized databases.

The term appears to be coined for narrative or worldbuilding purposes, sometimes drawing phonetic inspiration from real orchid genera such as Ophrys; this has contributed to occasional confusion with real orchids.

In speculative fiction and games, Opriris is sometimes depicted as a small to mid-sized orchid-like plant with specialized pollination or nectar features; however, descriptions vary widely and are not standardized.

If you are seeking information on real orchids, see Ophrys (orchids) or Orchidaceae.
