Vanda barnesii

A Philippine Vanda described by Higgins and Motes in Orchid Digest in 2012, with no public occurrence records. Little habitat information was reachable, so conditions here follow warm-growing Philippine vandas and the one measured site. Grow it as an epiphyte in bright light with strong airflow and frequent watering.
