Altocumulus (Ac)

Lenticularis (len)
From the Latin lenticula (meaning 'little lens' or 'lentil'), clouds of the species lenticularis are almond or lens-shaped wave clouds, often formed by the movement of moisture-laden air over a high hill or mountain slope.
From The Cloud Book from the Met Office.
