Phalaenopsis yingjiangensis

A small epiphytic orchid, formerly Ornithochilus yingjiangensis, now placed in Phalaenopsis subgenus Ornithochilus. It is known from evergreen broad-leaved forest at about 1,300–1,400 m in south-central China, with reports from Thailand and India. It has a few oblong leaves 8–13 cm long and pendulous sprays of pale yellow, brown-striped flowers in August. Very little is published on its ecology or cultivation, so the advice here is extrapolated from its elevation and the monsoon climate of the region.
