Vanda flavobrunnea

A mainland South-East Asian Vanda described by Reichenbach in 1886, with yellow-brown flowers, ranging from Nepal and Assam through southern China and Indochina to Hainan and Sumatra. Herbarium labels place it on tree trunks at forest margins around 900–1200 m, where winters are cool and dry, so it needs a bright, drier, cooler winter.
