'''Thrixspermum''' is a [[genus]] of [[orchid]]s, comprising around 100 [[species]] distributed from [[India]] to [[Southeast Asia]] and [[New Guinea]]. The genus is also present in several [[Pacific Islands]] and two species have been found in [[Australia]]. The [[type species]] is ''Thrixspermum centipedia''. These orchids live in lowland [[tropical]] [[rainforest]]s up to an altitude of 1,200 m.

''Thrixspermum'' are small or medium-sized [[monopodial]] [[epiphyte]] orchids. They have a typical flattened [[raceme]] that bears flowers in either two distinct ranks or any direction. Flowers are fragrant and last 2 to 3 days.

The scientific name refers to the hair-like seeds.

==Species==
Thrixspermum belongs to the same [[Cladistics|clade]] as [[Acampe]], [[Arachnis]], [[Brachypeza]], [[Dyakia]], [[Pelatantheria]], [[Phalaenopsis]], [[Pomatocalpa]], [[Trichoglottis]], and [[Vanda]]
