Ascoglossum, abbreviated as Ascgm in horticultural trade, is a monotypic genus of epiphytic orchids in family Orchidaceae. Its only species Ascoglossum calopterum is endemic to Dinagat Island in the southern Philippines. Its growth is similar to Renanthera.[1]
Ascoglossum forms several different intergeneric hybrids (nothogenera):
- Ascoglossum × Renanthera (Ren.): Renanthoglossum (Rngm.)
- Ascoglossum × Aerides (Aer.): Nonaara (Non.)
- Ascoglossum × Arachnis: Ngara (Ngara)
- Ascoglossum × Paraphalaenopsis: Ascoparanthera (Apn.)
- Ascoglossum × Phalaenopsis (Phal.): Dresslerara (Dres.)
- Ascoglossum × Rhynchostylis: Lauara (Lauara)
- Ascoglossum × Trichoglottis: Sheehanara (Shn.)
- Ascoglossum × Vanda: Pantapaara (Pntp.)
- Ascoglossum × Vandopsis: Freedara (Fdra.)
One of the RHS-registered primary hybrids is Ascoglossum Nina Rach (Ascoglossum purpureum × Renanthera monachica).
