Phytotelma is a small water-filled cavity in a terrestrial plant. The water accumulated within these plants may serve as the habitat for associated flora; the faunae associated with phytotelmata are unique. Some species are of great practical significance. A rich literature in German summarised by Thienemann developed many aspects of phytotelm biology. Reviews of the subject by Kitching and Maguire introduced the concept of phytotelmata to English-speaking readers. A multi-authored book edited by Frank and Lounibos dealt in 11 chapters with classification of phytotelmata, with phytotelmata provided by bamboo internodes, banana leaf axils, bromeliad leaf axils, Nepenthes pitchers, Sarracenia pitchers, tree holes, Heliconia flower bracts. A classification of phytotelmata by Kitching recognizes five principal types: bromeliad tanks, certain carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants, water-filled tree hollows, bamboo internodes, axil water. A review by Greeney identified seven forms: tree holes, leaf axils, modified leaves, fallen vegetative parts, fallen fruit husks, stem rots.

The word "phytotelma" derives from the ancient Greek roots phyto-, meaning'plant', telma, meaning'pond'. Thus, the correct singular is phytotelma; the term was coined by L. Varga in 1928; the correct pronunciation is "phytotēlma" and "phytotēlmata" because of the Greek origin.
