Vanda roeblingiana

Roebelen's vanda

A Vanda endemic to the mountains of northern Luzon in the Philippines, collected around Baguio, Bontoc and Banaue in the Cordillera Central. Unlike the lowland vandas it comes from cool, monsoonal highlands, so it wants bright light, cool nights and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte of montane forest in the Cordillera of northern Luzon. Herbarium labels from Mt Bukung near Banaue describe secondary forest along a gully, suggesting sheltered, humid spots within otherwise bright highland forest.

Specimen labels give no elevations, but the localities (Baguio, Bontoc, Banaue) lie at roughly 1,000–1,600 m, so it is a highland plant.
