in Philippines = Waling Waling

epiphytic on trees at altitudes from sea level to 500 meters, usually near the sea, often hanging over the water, and fully exposed to the sun

Discoverer of this species in 1880 is the plant hunter Carl Roebelin (also Roebelen), who discovered this species in at the foot of Mount Apo during a collecting trip for the nursery SANDER. In 1882 the plant was described as Vanda sanderiana. Due to the lack of a spur on the back of the labellum, it was transferred to the genus Euanthe in 1914, a classification that hardly holds today.
Vanda sanderiana is considered the queen of Philippine orchids and has been the country's national flower since 2013.
