Bletilla striata, known as hyacinth orchid, is a species of orchid native to Japan, Korea, Myanmar (Burma), and China (Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang).
Bletilla striata is used in Asian traditional medicine for treating problems with the lining of the alimentary canal, e.g. ulcers.
It is also used as a natural glue for making silk strings for traditional Chinese instruments like the guqin.
