Dendrobium nobile Lindl. Syn Dendrobium lindleyanum Griff., D. coerulescens Lindl., D. formosanum Rchb. f.
Dendrobium nobile, also known as Jinchashihu or Gold Hairpin Dendrobium, is a remarkable orchid species with a wide range of names across different languages and regions. This attractive epiphyte grows on trees in sparse forests, displaying its beauty through vibrant flowers and graceful presence. Within this orchid, a significant molecule called Dendroflorin has been discovered. It plays a vital role in triggering embryonic lung fibroblasts, promoting cell proliferation by facilitating the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase. Furthermore, Dendrobium nobile supports the degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), contributing to overall cellular health. Dendrobium nobile is rich in sesquiterpenoids, which contribute to its pharmacological properties. Among these compounds, Dendrobine exhibits mild pain-relieving and antipyretic effects, although it is comparatively weaker than over-the-counter painkillers and fever remedies. In higher doses, Dendrobine can affect various physiological functions, such as raising blood sugar levels, diminishing cardiac activity, lowering blood pressure, suppressing respiration, inhibiting intestinal contractions, and inducing uterine contractions in isolated guinea pigs. It selectively inhibits insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in endothelial cells of the human umbilical cord and inhibits HIV-1 replication through an NF-kappaB-dependent pathway. Additionally, the orchid contains other compounds like Moscatilin, which exhibits potential antimutagenic activity, and Ephemeranthol A, a potent inhibitor of nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. In traditional Chinese medicine, Dendrobium nobile holds a prominent position as the dominant species of Shihu. Chinese herbal texts highlight the benefits of the orchid's pseudobulb, which is believed to improve stomach health, encourage the secretion of bodily fluids, and reinforce the Yin element. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms such as dehydration, thirst, and poor vision, as well as to aid in the recovery process after an illness. In Japan, the medicinal preparation derived from Dendrobium nobile is known as Sek koku and is used to treat conditions like fever, loss of appetite with nausea, and lumbago. Similarly, in Korea, it is known as Seok gok and is utilized for treating night sweats. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the medicinal value of Dendrobium nobile and has listed it as "shihu" in their publication, "Medicinal Plants of China." This recognition further solidifies the importance of this orchid species in traditional medicine. |

Dendrobium xantholeucum Rchb. f. syn. Flickingeria xantholeuca A. Hawkes; Ephemerantha lonchophylla (Hook.f.) P.F.Hunt & Summerh.
Chinese name: Jiye Jin Shihu (sharp leaf gold Dendrobium) It is a small epiphyte, distributed throughout Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia and southern Taiwan from sea level to 1000 m. Dendrobium xantholeucum, also known as Jiye Jin Shihu or Sharp Leaf Gold Dendrobium, is a small epiphytic orchid that can be found throughout Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and southern Taiwan, thriving at elevations from sea level up to 1000 meters. In terms of its phytochemistry, several compounds have been isolated from this orchid, including Ephemeranthone, denbinobin, and 3-methylgigantol. Ephemeranthone exhibits antioxidant properties and effectively inhibits the oxidation of human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in vitro. Lonchophylloids A and B, two primary diterpenoids found in Dendrobium xantholeucum, have shown the ability to sensitize cells expressing multidrug resistance to the anticancer drug doxorubicin. This discovery holds significant promise for potential applications in cancer chemotherapy. Additionally, denbinobin, another compound present in the orchid, displays cytotoxic effects against various human cancer cell types, including lung, breast, and colon. Furthermore, a phenanthroquinone derivative derived from Dendrobium xantholeucum inhibits the formation of blood vessels that support tumor growth, thereby preventing the spread of tumors to adjacent or distant parts of the body. In traditional Chinese medicine, the entire plant of Dendrobium xantholeucum is used as shihu. This usage dates back 5000 years and has been documented in Shen Nong's Bencao Jing, the classic Chinese Pharmacopoeia. This orchid holds a long-standing history of medicinal usage in China, particularly as one of the original shihu species that grew on rocks. Its therapeutic properties have been valued and incorporated into traditional Chinese medicine for millennia. |

In traditional Chinese medicine, Gymnadenia crassinervis is considered a type of "palm ginseng" alongside Gymnadenia conopsea and Coeloglossum viride. The Zhongyao Da Cidian, a comprehensive Chinese herbal medicine encyclopedia, describes the medicinal properties of these palm ginseng varieties. They are believed to nourish the wind and blood, quench thirst, and treat various health conditions such as weak lungs, coughs, dyspnea, weakness from exertion, weight loss, neurasthenia, chronic diarrhea, blood loss, vaginal discharge, poor lactation, and chronic hepatitis. The specific properties and applications of Gymnadenia crassinervis within the palm ginseng category may be associated with its coarse veins.

Hippeophyllum scortechinii (Hook f.) Schltr.
Malay name: Setawar baker perah Hippeophyllum scortechinii, also known by its Malay name Setawar baker perah, is an epiphytic orchid species found in various regions including Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, Java, Borneo, and Sulawesi. It primarily inhabits the lowland areas of Pahang and Perak, Malaysia, where it grows in shady locations, often near rivers. In traditional herbal usage, the Malays in Kuala Lipis, a town in Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia, utilize the heated leaves of Hippeophyllum scortechinii to extract hot juice. This juice is then squeezed into the ear to provide relief from earaches. This practice reflects the local knowledge and traditional remedies employed by the Malays in the region to alleviate ear discomfort. The specific properties of Hippeophyllum scortechinii that contribute to its efficacy in treating earaches are likely attributed to its chemical composition and traditional medicinal uses.
