Therapeutic Orchid notes:

Corymborkis Thouars.
The genus Guanhua Lan, with its five species, is widely spread across tropical lowlands. These orchids are not widely grown because their flowers last only briefly. This makes them less common in gardens. Their short-lived blooms pose challenges for maintenance, limiting their cultivation. |

Spathoglottis plicata Blume
The Pink and Purple Spathoglottis, known as Zihuabaoshe Lan in Chinese, are plants that flower throughout the year, particularly thriving after monsoon periods or during dry seasons. Introduced to Malaysian and Singaporean gardens by Mr. Issac Henry Burkill, they commonly grow in open scrubland alongside other flora like Aurndina graminifolia and ferns. Locally, indigenous communities use the plant for medicinal purposes; in Peninsular Malaysia's Perak state, it's brewed into a decoction for treating rheumatism. Similar remedies are found in India, Bangladesh, and the Nicobar Islands, where it's used for earaches and skincare. |
