[1] The species is initially terrestrial during its seedling stage, then becomes epiphytic upon reaching maturity.

[2][1] However, the species scented, 2-flowered inflorescence significantly differs from the latter, along with its narrower labellum and the characteristically entire clinandrium margins.

[2][1] The species is considered Critically Endangered,[3] and is found only in top portion of forest over limestone, and is threatened by land use conversion, timber poaching,[1] and slash-and-burn farming.

[2] Pseuderia samarana is an initially terrestrial orchid during its seedling stage, then becomes epiphytic upon reaching maturity.

[1] This endemic orchid species is only known from near Samar Island, Philippines on forests over limestone formation with an elevation of 250-880 m.[1] As assessed, P. samarana is calculated to have an area of occupancy of 8 km2 and an extent of occurrence as 0.166 km2.
