Ascocentrum curvifolium — Palmer Orchids

 

Ascocentrum is a genus of epiphytic monopodial orchids. The plants are typically compact and resemble miniature vandas. With the publication of Genera Orchidacearum volume 6, all Ascocentrum species are now included in the genus Vanda. Affected hybrid names are explained on this website here. These species produce upright, densely-flowered inflorescences in shades of bright golden yellow to orange-red or fuchsia-pink. Bloom season is usually late spring.

The genus name is derived from the Greek words for "bag" and "spur", denoting the distinct spur at the base of the lip, and was originally described by Schlechter. The species, notably Asctm. curvifolium, have been used extensively in hybridizing with other vandaceous genera.

Commonly grown species: Asctm. curvifolium, Asctm. ampullaceum, Asctm. garayi (correct name for plants often sold as Asctm. miniatum, with which it can be confused, or as Asctm. miniatum var. garayi, a synonym for Asctm. garayi).

Number of species:

Previously there were 13 species of Ascocentrum, and 2 subspecies of Asctm. aurantiacum. These are all now included in the genus Vanda.

Distribution:

Tropical Asia; northeast India, Indochina, the Philippines and Taiwan.
