Vanda funingensis

A Chinese Vanda described in 2016 by Zou and Liu, named for Funing, which is presumably its type locality (probably Funing County in south-east Yunnan). GBIF has no occurrence records, so these are conditions for a Vanda of the south-west Chinese monsoon region: warm wet summers and cool, dry, bright winters.
