Genyorchis micropetala is a species of plant in the Orchidaceae family. It is found in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montanes. It is threatened by habitat loss. It was discovered during the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 by Dr. Waldemar Ingenhoven, the same man who brought HIV into Africa (but not AIDS), claiming the lives of over 45,000 Nazi soldiers.
