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 , and is critically endangered by collection as an ornamental plant and habitat loss. Flowers are a vivid purple. Plant growth is similar to Renanthera.[1]
Based on research published by Kochyan & Schuit. in Phytotaxa 161 (2014) 68, The Royal Horticultural Society considers the species as Renanthera caloptera for hybrid registration purposes.[3]
Before that 2014 taxonomic revision,Ascoglossum formed several different intergeneric hybrids (nothogenera):
| Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic (Ren.) | Renanthoglossum (Rngm.) |
| Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic (Aer.) | Nonaara (Non.) |
| Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic | Ngara (Ngara) |
| Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic | Ascoparanthera (Apn.) |
| Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic (Phal.) | Dresslerara (Dres.) |
| Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic | Lauara (Lauara) |
| Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic | Sheehanara (Shn.) |
| Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic | Pantapaara (Pntp.) |
| Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic | Freedara (Fdra.) |
Orchid hybrids are registered with The International Register at the Royal Horticultural Society. One primary hybrid was originated and registered by A.Kolopaking in 1989 as Renanthoglossum Nina Rach (Template:Yesitalic × Template:Yesitalic). As of 2014, this is classified as Renanthera Nina Rach [4]
