Euanthe Sanderiana
''Vanda sanderiana'' is a species of orchid. It is commonly called Waling-waling in the Philippines and is also called Sander's Vanda, after Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, a noted orchidologist. The orchid is considered to be the "Queen of Philippine flowers" and is worshiped as a ''diwata'' by the indigenous Bagobo people. Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach named it as ''Vanda sanderiana''. It has two forms, pink and white, also referred to as ''alba''. M. Roebelin discovered the original pink variety in the Philippines in 1881 or 1882. Rudolf Schlechter separated ''Euanthe'' from ''Vanda'' in 1914 due to structural differences in the flowers. For breeding purposes and registration by the Royal Horticultural Society, however, it is still treated as a Vanda. ''Vanda sanderiana'' is endemic to Mindanao in the provinces of Davao, Cotabato, and Zamboanga where it is found on the trunks of dipterocarp trees at elevations below 500 meters. Over-collected, the plant is considered ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
