Acampe (named from the brittle nature of the flower). Orchidaceae. Greenhouse epiphytes{{SCH}}.
   −
'''''Acampe''''' [[Lindley]], 1853 is a genus  of seven [[monopodial]], [[epiphytic]] vandaceous species distributed from tropical Africa to India, eastwards to China and southwards to Malaya, Indonesia, the Philippines and New Guinea.
+
Due to their large size and small flowers, they are rarely cultivated{{wp}}.  
−
 
  −
The name ''Acampe'' was derived from the Greek word ''akampas'', meaning "rigid", referring to the little, brittle,  inflexible flowers.
  −
 
  −
These species produce slow-growing, medium-sized [[vine]]s that form very large vegetative masses in nature.  They are noted for their thick, leathery, [[Wiktionary:distichous|distichous]] [[leaf|leaves]].
  −
 
  −
They produce fragrant small to medium-sized yellow [[flower]]s, barred with brown stripes, in a few to many-flowered [[raceme|racemose]] [[inflorescence]]. The brittle [[sepal]]s and [[petal]]s look alike. The ear-shaped, fringed, white [[labellum]] (lip) is [[Wiktionary:saccate|saccate]] (sac-shaped) or has a spur, and has red markings at its base. The fleshy [[Column (botany)|column]] is short and has two waxy [[pollinium|pollinia]].
     −
Due to their large size and small flowers, they are rarely cultivated.
