Acianthera quadricristata is a species of flowering plant in the orchid family that is native to South America, specifically in the tropical regions of Brazil and Peru.

This plant has been traditionally used in folk medicine for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, which have been attributed to its bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids.
