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.
==Cultivation==

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]].
===Propagation===
{{edit-prop}}<!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->


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]].
