'''''Acacallis''''' Lindl. [[1853]], was a small [[South America|South American]] genus with a few [[species]] from the orchid family [[Orchidaceae]]. The genus is named in homage to a famous [[List_of_Greek_mythological_characters|mythological]] Greek mortal named, [[Acacallis (mythology) | Akakallis]].<br />
<br />
According to the authoritative database of the Royal Botanical Gardens in [[Kew]], the genus ''Acacallis'' Lindl. has become a synonym of ''[[Aganisia]]'' Lindl. All ''Acacallis'' species have now been synonymized with ''Aganisia'' species, except ''Acacallis rosariana'' V.P.Castro & M.M.Silva that has become an unplaced name.<br />
<br />
The species of this former genus are found in the countries of [[Brazil]], [[Colombia]], [[Venezuela]], [[Guyana]], and [[Peru]]. Both species have flowers that generally reach 4cm in width and whose color is rare among orchids, varying from a rose-tinted violet to a blue-tinted violet produced from a creeping [[rhizome]]. <br />
<br />
According to the [[Royal Horticultural Society]], ''Ac.'' is the official abbreviation for this genus.<br />
