Phalaenopsis mariae

A small Phalaenopsis from Sabah in northern Borneo to Mindanao in the southern Philippines. It is grown like other warm, shade-loving Phalaenopsis, but the two wild GBIF records are from much cooler mountains and fit it poorly.

Elevation is not documented in the sources we opened; the two GBIF records carry no elevation.
