Amesiella

Amesiella is a genus of orchids endemic to the Island of Luzon, in the Philippines.

[1] Previously it was believed that the species of this genus belonged to the genus Angraecum within the subtribe Angraecinae.

[2] The genus is named for Oakes Ames (1874-1950), founder of the orchid herbarium at Harvard University.

[3] These short-stemmed, miniature epiphytes form elliptic, coriaceous, distichous leaves.

White flowers with pronounces spurs, indicating moth pollination, are formed on short, axillary racemes.
