''Acampe'', abbreviated as Acp in horticultural trade, is a genus of monopodial, epiphytic vandaceous species of orchids, distributed from tropical Asia from India, eastwards to China and southwards to Malaysia, and the Philippines as well as from tropical Africa, Madagascar and islands of the Indian Ocean.〔 The name ''Acampe'' was derived from the Greek word ''akampas'', meaning "rigid", referring to the small, brittle, inflexible flowers. ''Acampe'' produce slow-growing, medium-sized vines that form very large vegetative masses in nature. They are noted for their thick, leathery, distichous leaves. They produce fragrant small to medium-sized yellow flowers, barred with brown stripes, in a few to many-flowered racemose inflorescence. The brittle sepals and petals look alike. The ear-shaped, fringed, white labellum (lip) is saccate (sac-shaped) or has a spur, and has red markings at its base. The fleshy column is short and has two waxy pollinia.〔(Flora of China v 25 p 449, 脆兰属 cui lan shu, ''Acampe'' Lindley, Fol. Orchid. 4(Acampe): 1. 1853. )〕 Due to their large size and small flowers, they are rarely cultivated. ==Species== Eight species re recognized as of May 2014:〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 # ''Acampe carinata'' (Griff.)
