A black orchid was a rare orchid with black flowers found only in South America.
It was held sacred by a local tribe, who considered themselves its guardians. When botanist George Cranleigh stole a black orchid, the natives captured, tortured and mutilated him for his crime. One of them that he had brought back previously was stored in a glass case at Cranleigh Hall. (TV: Black Orchid)
