Goodyera luzonensis

A Philippine jewel orchid described by Ames in 1915 from Luzon. Nothing on its habitat beyond the name is available here, so treat it like other Goodyera: a creeping terrestrial of shady, humid forest floor that wants low light, constant moisture and good air.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were found. Goodyera in the Philippines are creeping terrestrials of humid forest floor and mossy banks, often in hill and montane forest; this is assumed from the genus.

Not recorded. The only climate site is a lowland coastal proxy at about 9 m; many Luzon Goodyera grow higher, in cooler forest.
