Vanda xichangensis

provided by wikipedia EN

Vanda xichangensis is a species of epiphytic orchid native to China South-Central.[1]

Description

The morphology closely resembles Vanda falcata, however the spur is shorter.[2]

Taxonomy

It differs in the spur length from Vanda falcata, however the differing length has been criticised as being insufficient to justify this species status as separate from Vanda falcata. Therefore, some authors dispute this species status and regard it as a subspecies of Vanda falcata.[2]

Conservation

Like all orchids, it is protected unter the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade.[3]
