Description
editThis species is a miniature, warm to cool-growing branch and canopy epiphyte. It has a short stem, which is enclosed in leaf sheaths. The leaves are oval-elliptic and unequally bilobed at the apex. 0.7 cm wide flowers arise from pendent to erect, 8-10 cm long, few to several flowered inflorescences.[3] Flowering occurs from September to October.[4]
Ecology
editThis species occurs in primary and old secondary, dry, evergreen, broad-leaved, lowland and montane forests at elevations of 680-1300 m above sea level. It is commonly present along stream valleys.[3][4]
Taxonomy
editWithin the subgenus Parishianae it is placed in the same clade as species of section Aphyllae. It appears to be closely related to Phalaenopsis pulcherrima.[5] Two other analyses suggest a close relationship to Phalaenopsis deliciosa.[6][7]
Conservation
editIt is very rare and has only been recorded in few locations. Its estimated IUCN conservation status is data deficient (DD).[4] International trade is regulated through the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade.[8]
