Acianthera is a genus of orchids native to the tropical parts of the Western Hemisphere,[1] especially Brazil.[2] It was first described in 1842[3] but was not widely recognized until recently. Most of the species formerly placed under Pleurothallis subgenus Acianthera. This splitting is a result of recent DNA sequencing.
