Ascocentrum is a small genus of 13 species distributed from Nepal, China, through to Sulawesi and the
Moluccas and was based on Saccolabium miniatum Lindley (1847: t26). The species are small multi-flowered taxa with a compact habit, and the flowers are bright orange, red, pink and purple, bearing short but narrow nectar-filled spurs.
Notes:
Although listed as being from Thailand and Vietnam only on the World checklist of selected
plant families (2012), Motes (pers.comm.) considers this species to be distributed in Thailand, Laos
(where it was recorded by Schuiteman et al., 2008, and Seidenfaden, 1992, as Ascocentrum miniatum)
and Sumatra.
