#epiphytic plant

• Adnascent — A botanical term from old or restricted scientific nomenclature, used to describe an organism, plant structure, or epiphytic plant (frequently fern species, such as Pyrrosia adnascens) that grows tightly attached or structurally joined to the trunk or bark of another tree, without necessarily absorbing its sap.
• Aeschynanthus pulcher — Scientific name of a perennial epiphytic lipstick plant species from the Aeschynanthus genus, native to Malaysia and Java, structurally characterized by ovate, smooth, bright green leaves with slightly purple margins and scarlet-red tubular flowers with a yellow throat, emerging from a short, greenish or purple, often glabrous calyx. The species is highly valued in interior landscape design for the elegance and vibrant coloring of its flowers.
• Ascocentrum — A genus of epiphytic plants in the Orchidaceae family, native to tropical Asia, characterized by short monopodial stems, rigid strap-like leaves, and dense inflorescences with small, brightly colored flowers in shades of pink, red, or orange, featuring a prominent nectar spur. Currently, its species have been largely reclassified taxonomically under the genus Vanda, but the original structural name remains widely used in horticulture and hybridization.
• Aspasia lunata — A species of epiphytic plants in the Orchidaceae family (orchids), native to the tropical forests of South America, particularly Brazil. Characterized by elongated and compressed pseudobulbs, the plant produces delicate inflorescences with flowers whose greenish-yellow petals and sepals are decorated with brown stripes or spots, standing out through a white-violet labellum, often crescent-shaped, an appearance from which the specific epithet 'lunata' originates.
