{{Inc|
Anoectochilus (Greek, open lip). Orchidàceae. A group cultivated for the beautifully reticulated leaves, which are oval or ovate, membranaceous and diversely colored; the flowers are small, not ornamental.
Terrestrial, from a creeping rhizome: lvs. basal: fls. in a spike or raceme; sepals free, the dorsal erect, forming a hood with the petals, the lateral sepals spreading; lip adnate to the foot of the column, spreading; claw fimbriate, the blade 2-lobed.—About 8 species.
Although many methods have been adopted for the successful cultivation of the best species and varieties, failure has been the rule, so that at present few American collections contain even a single specimen. Plants introduced by collectors sometimes thrive for a few years and then fail, in spite of all efforts. Frequently they can be kept only a year or two.
