The species are all very small, with the lateral [[sepal]]s of the [[flower]] fused into a [[synsepal]]. The [[labellum|lip]] responds to touch by snapping upward against the [[column (botany)|column]], which serves to trap an [[insect]] temporarily and force it to [[pollination|pollinate]] the flower. All species have two [[pollinium|pollinia]].<br /> <br /> ==Species==<br /> * ''Acostaea campylotyle''<br /> * ''Acostaea costaricensis'' Schltr.
