Phalaenopsis honghenensis, also known as 红河蝴蝶兰 (hong he hu die lan) in Chinese,[2] is a species of orchid native to Southeast China and Vietnam.

[1] The specific epithet honghenensis refers to Honghe, China.

Like other members of Phalaenopsis section Aphyllae, this plant exhibits deciduous leaflessness.

However, it usually has 1–2 leaves, which are produced on up to 1 cm long stems, which are imbricated in leaf bases.

The true phylogenetic relationships within the section Aphyllae are subject of dispute, which is fueled by confusion caused through various authors describing and synonymizing species within this group.
