Sarcopodium (Greek for flesh and foot). Orchidaceae. Warmhouse orchids, by some referred to Bulbophyllum and Dendrobium. Rhizome creeping, the 2-lvd. pseudobulbs usually distant on it: infl. terminal, the fls. single or in racemes; sepals and petals similar, the former usually forming a manifest chin; lip much smaller. Related to Dendrobium, and much like it in fl.-structure.—Species about 20, in the Malay Penins. and adjacent islands, and in the Trop. Himalayas. S. acuminatum, Kranzl. (Dendrobium acuminatum, Rolfe). Raceme few- to many-fld., lax; sepals triangular, long-acuminate, about 1 1/2 in. long; petals of same length but narrower, yellowish white; lip with lateral lobes obovate, rounded, retuse, the midlobe ovate-triangular, acute, the apex reflexed.
