Vanda lamellata

A monopodial epiphytic orchid of the western Pacific islands, from the southern Ryukyus and southern Taiwan (including Lanyu) through the Philippines to the Mariana Islands and northern Borneo. It is a strap-leaved Vanda of warm, bright, breezy, often coastal sites, and several varieties are recognised. Grow it like other warm, high-light vandas: strong light, warmth, free air around the roots and daily wetting in growth.
