Vanda bidupensis

A Vietnamese Vanda described by Averyanov and Christenson in 1998 and named after the Bidoup massif in Lam Dong Province on the Da Lat plateau. It is a highland species, so it wants cooler conditions than most Vanda, with a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte in montane forest of the Bidoup (Da Lat plateau) area; no specimen labels are available on GBIF.

Montane; the Bidoup massif rises from about 1000 to over 2000 m, and the species is presumably from its upper forests.
