'Orchidée' or 'Orchidacée' may be French equivalents of 'orchid' [Orchidaceae family].

The feminine nouns 'orchidée' and 'orchidacée'mean 'orchid'. Their singular definite article is 'l'* ['the']. Their singular indefinite article is 'une' ['a, one'].

They respectively are pronounced 'ohr-kee-deh' and 'ohr-kee-dah-seh'.

*The feminine singular definite article actually is 'la'. But the vowel 'a' drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of that drop is indicated by an apostrophe: 'l'orchidée' and 'l'orchidacée'.
