Phalaenopsis philippinensis

Phalaenopsis philippinensis is an endemic species of orchid found from Luzon island in the Philippines.

The callus is uniseriate, peltate, channeled with the posterior edge extended in a pair of wing-like teeth.

The richly marked leaves and the pure yellow lateral lobes of the lip have made it a very desirable species.

Like the closely related P. schilleriana and P. stuartiana, P. philippinensis tends to open all the flowers on an inflorescence quickly.

It grows on tree trunks with abundant moss from which its roots extract nutrients.

[citation needed] It is endemic to the Sierra Madre forest in Northeastern Luzon.
