Dendrochilum sp. An undescribed terrestrial(!) species from the ultramafic tabletop of Mt. Hamiguitan, Davao Oriental Province, Mindanao, Philippines. The bracts range from greenish-white to pinkish-brown. This species is abundant on the tableland, where the waist-high blooms tower over the dwarf heath vegetation.
I love the way the flowers pop up from the flower stem as they sequentially open. From Sabah and Sarawak, Borneo.
Leaves of an undescribed terrestrial Dendrochilum. Found here in stony ultramafic soil along the trail up Mt. Hamiguitan, Davao Oriental Province, Mindanao, Philippines. The orange spots on the leaves are presumably a rust.
