'''''Angraecopsis''''' is a genus of plants in the family Orchidaceae. It was first described by Fritz Kraenzlin in 1900 and given its name on account with the genus' similarity to ''Angraecum'' species. ''Angraecopsis'' are native to Africa, Madagascar, Réunion, Mauritius and the Comoros.<ref name="WCSP">[http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=9161 Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families]</ref> The growth habit is rather small and the leaves emerge from a woody stem.
