Phalaenopsis arunachalensis

A small Phalaenopsis described in 2020 by Gogoi and Rinya from Arunachal Pradesh in north-east India, known from little more than its type collection. GBIF holds no usable wild records, so no climate was measured; the conditions below are those of the monsoon foothill forests where the region's other small Phalaenopsis grow, and should be treated as a starting point.

Unknown; north-east Indian Phalaenopsis mostly grow in foothill and lower montane forest below about 1,200 m.
