Crepidium acuminatum is one of the nature’s most extravagant group of flowering plants i.e. Orchids distributed throughout the world from tropics to high alpine. It is grouped among Astavarga plants, Jivaniya Gana and Bramhiniya in different Ayurveda classicals. It is grown primarily at a height of more than 1500fts in India and different parts of the world. It has been used in many parts of the world in traditional healing system as well as in the treatment of a number of diseases since the ancient times. It belongs to the largest family of plant kingdom i.e. Orchidaceae. Yet no studies have been done regarding its medicinal properties and traditional uses. Here a brief research is carried out on its phyto-chemical profile and pharmacology to rule out its medicinal properties. It faces the extreme danger of extinction due to over- xploitation and habitat loss.
