Orchidantha
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Orchidantha is a genus of flowering plants. In the APG III system, it is placed in the family Lowiaceae,[1] as the sole genus.[2] It includes the plants in the formerly recognised genera Lowia and Protamomum.
Orchidantha remains a poorly known genus, found from southern China to Borneo.[3][4] Orchidantha means "orchid-flower", as one of the petals on the flowers is modified into a labellum, like the flowers of orchids.[5] One species, Orchidantha inouei of Borneo, imitates the smell of dung in order to attract small Onthophagus dung beetles as pollinators.[6]
