Anoectochilus brevilabris is an eastern Himalayan terrestrial species that seems to be genetically diverse and sometime is found under the name Anct. sikkimensis. Far more plants are being called Anct. brevilabris than should be. Has either 30 or 40 chromosomes depending on the reference. Growing from 3000 to 4500 ft (1000 to 1500 m). At this elevation, it is subtropical. Dark, ovate leaves with pale golden to orange veins and a distinct point. A summer bloomer. Seems very close to Anoectochilus reinwardtii in a number of ways but is cooler growing and the ranges don't overlap.
