Vanda/Ascocentrum ampullaceum

''Vanda ampullacea'' is a perennial epiphytic orchid found in southeast Asia from Nepal to China and India, including the eastern Himalayas. It has had various classifications, initially called ''Aerides ampullacea'' by William Roxburgh when it was first described in 1814. It was most recently reclassified in 2012 during a taxonomic revision of ''Vanda''. In 1868, one if its cultivars received a First Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society.
