- Anoectochilus — A genus of terrestrial plants in the Orchidaceae (orchid) family, popularly known as 'jewel orchids' due to their spectacular velvety foliage veined with brilliant gold or silver lines. These small structural plants grow wild in the shade of tropical rainforests across Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands, highly collected and globally valued for their leaf aesthetics, unlike most orchids cultivated for their blooms.
- Anoectochilus regalis — An endemic species of terrestrial orchid from Sri Lanka, belonging to the genus Anoectochilus, world-renowned for its velvety, dark green to blackish foliage traversed by a complex structural network of brilliant golden veins. This rare plant, nicknamed the 'king jewel orchid', grows in the shaded and humid lower strata of montane tropical rainforests, being a strictly protected species highly prized by exotic plant collectors.
- Anoectochilus reinwardtii — A species of terrestrial orchid native to a wide range in Southeast Asia (including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand), belonging to the 'jewel orchid' group. The plant is structurally distinguished by its ovate, dark purple or coppery-brown leaves decorated with a network of fine pink-gold or bronze veins, and by its erect floral spikes bearing small, white flowers with a well-developed labellum.
- Anoectochilus roxburghii — A remarkable species of terrestrial orchid widespread across South Asia, the Himalayas, and China, belonging to the 'jewel orchid' group. This small structural plant is highly famous due to its velvety leaves of an intense dark purple to black color, spectacularly decorated with a dense network of brilliant pink-gold or reddish veins, also used traditionally in Chinese medicine due to its bioactive properties.
