Acampe rigida Hunt OR Acampe multiflora
The Chinese medicinal name for this orchid, A. rigida, is Heishanzhe. It grows in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan in China. According to Chinese medicine, its roots and leaves relax muscles, ease joint pain, improve blood circulation, and relieve pain from injuries and fractures. In Laos, people traditionally made mats from its leaves. In Thailand, the whole plant is used as a tonic to make the body stronger. These medicinal effects come from active ingredients like 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and 4-methoxymethyl phenol found in Heishanzhe. |

Anacamptis coriophora
The Bug Orchid, known for its small green to deep wine-red flowers with fused tepals forming a hood-like structure, contains p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, a compound related to gastrodin. This compound shows promise in enhancing memory in rat studies by aiding memory consolidation and retrieval. Additionally, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol has skin-lightening effects due to its ability to inhibit tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. These characteristics highlight the Bug Orchid's potential in both medicinal research for memory enhancement and cosmetic applications for skin whitening. |

Anacamptis palustris
Anacamptis palustris, known as the Bog Orchid, is recognized for its subtle and delicate fragrance.

The fragrance of Bog Orchid adds to its allure, making it not only a source of cultural significance through salep production but also appreciated for its aromatic qualities in natural settings where it grows. |
