Disperis is a genus consisting of 78 species. Of these, 26 are found in South Africa. Plants are generally small and terrestrial. Flowers are very distinct. As with Corycium the dorsal sepal is fused to the petals forming a spurred hood. The lateral sepals spread out sideways and each has a distinct spur or pouch.
