There is only one very rare [[monopodial ]] [[epiphyte|epiphytic]] [[species]], ''Abdominea minimiflora'', or the '''Tiny-flowered Abdominea''', in this [[genus]].
It is distributed from [[Thailand]] to the [[Malay peninsula]], [[Java (island)|Java]], and the [[Philippines]].
The name is derived from the Latin ''abdomen'', meaning belly. It refers to the similarity between the shape of the [[labellum]] (lip) and the shape of the abdomen of an insect.
The species produces very small flowers, about 0.45 cm wide, on a racemose, many-flowered inflorescence.
