Acriopsis liliifolia
The orchid Acriopsis liliifolia, known by various Malay names, grows in Southeast Asian lowland forests and on roadside trees. Ants are attracted to its pseudobulbs due to lipids on the seed coats, helping spread the orchid. In the past, its leaves and roots were used in Malaya as a fever reducer. In Indonesia, the orchid's juice treated earaches, while its powdered pseudobulb eased fever and hypertension. In India, its roots were used for rheumatism treatment in the Western Ghats. |
