A genus of orchids, a flowering plant with small inconspicuous flowers.
From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'chroma' (color) + 'anthos' (flower), named for the plant's pale or inconspicuous blooms.
Achroanthes orchids are absolutely fascinating—they're a rare example of orchids with reduced flowers that hardly look like flowers at all, reflecting an unusual evolutionary strategy in a plant family famous for showy blooms!
