Phalaenopsis bellina is commonly employed in the treatment of conditions such as haemoptysis (coughing up blood) caused by tuberculosis, diabetes, bronchitis, nephritis, cystitis, convulsions, and snake bites. During phytochemical analysis, kinsenoside, five sterols including a novel compound with a unique side chain (26-methylstigmasta-5,22,25, (27)-trien-3 beta-ol), a megastigmane glucoside, and 20-deoxyadenosine were identified in this orchid species.

Apostasia nuda R. Br.
Malay names: Si sarsar bulang, Si marsari sari, Duhut bane-bane, Poko pulumpus bedak, Dudulu ingap, Kniching pelandok Apostasia nuda, known by various Malay names such as Si sarsar bulang, Si marsari sari, Duhut bane-bane, Poko pulumpus bedak, Dudulu ingap, and Kniching pelandok, belongs to the genus Apostasia, which consists of seven primitive terrestrial orchids. This orchid species is relatively common in lowland dipterocarp forests in Malaysia and can be found in Myanmar, southern Thailand, and Indonesia's lowland forests. Apostasia orchids are not easily recognizable as orchids due to their unique characteristics. In traditional Malaysian medicine, the roots of Apostasia nuda are boiled and used as poultices to treat diarrhea. Additionally, an infusion of the fruit is a local remedy for sore eyes. It is worth noting that Mr. Burkill and his father held positions as directors of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, contributing to their expertise in botany and knowledge of medicinal plants. |

Bulbophyllum vaginatum
Syn. Cirrhopetalum vaginatum Malay name: Magrah batu (stone orchid) Bulbophyllum vaginatum, also known as Cirrhopetalum vaginatum or Magrah batu (stone orchid) in Malay, is a common lowland orchid. In Singapore, it is often found on Rain Trees along roadsides, while in Malaysia, it can be seen on old Angsana, Jambu Laut, and other trees. The flowering of this orchid is triggered by a sudden drop in temperature, usually after a rainstorm. Regarding its phytochemistry, various compounds have been extracted from Bulbophyllum vaginatum, including 21 phenanthrenes, dihydropenanthrenes, bibenzyls, phenanthrofuran, and other aromatic compounds. Notably, it contains four unique chemicals not found in other orchids, with one example being a complex molecule called phenanthro(4,3-b)furan. Bulbophyllums are known for their richness in phenanthrenes and stilbenoids. Scientists believe that phenanthrenes from Bulbophyllum should be further investigated for their potential antitumor activity. In terms of herbal usage, in Malaya, the juice extracted from the roasted pseudobulb of Bulbophyllum vaginatum is traditionally used to alleviate earaches. In China and Nepal, it is employed for treating respiratory infections and fractures. The Zhongyao Da Cidian, a Chinese medicinal compendium, mentions five prescriptions involving this orchid to address various inflammatory conditions. Typically, it is used in combination with other herbs. Furthermore, in Myanmar, women prepare a hair tonic and shampoo by mixing ground Bulbophyllum vaginatum with pulverized bark, seeds, and fruit. This sticky fluid is used for washing their hair, aiming to combat dandruff, promote hair growth, and enhance hair color. |
