Pelatantheria eakroensis is a species of epiphytic or lithophytic orchid occurring in Vietnam. [2] [3] The plants are endemic to southern Vietnam. [4]
They are found under dry conditions in southern Vietnamese dry lowland Dipterocarp forests and have obvious xeromorphic features. [5] This species is very rare, and considered endangered. It is found on silicate and thus commonly acidic basement rock at elevations of 0 to 800 m a.s.l on other plants. Lithophytic growth has not been reported. [6]
This species is protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora CITES and thus is regarded as potentially endangered. [7]
