Vanda concolor

A medium-sized Vanda of southern China and northern Vietnam, including Hainan, with fragrant yellow-brown flowers. Herbarium and field records from about 100 m on Hainan to about 1,300 m in Yunnan and Guangxi, and a flowering peak in February to April, point to a monsoon plant that likes bright light, warm wet summers and a cool, fairly dry winter.
