Phalaenopsis micholitzii is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae. [2] It is endemic to the Zamboanga peninsula in the island of Mindanao, Philippines. [1]
The small, epiphytic plants have fleshy leaves. [3] The fleshy, cupped, 5 to 6 cm wide flowers [4] are not fragrant, [5] or only slightly fragrant, [4] and they last 25 to 35 days. [6] The floral colouration may be white, cream-coloured, yellowish or greenish. [6] [7]

There appears to be conflicting information about the correct author of the taxon. The International Plant Names Index lists three entires of Phalaenopsis micholitzii. [9] Several sources indicate, that Rolfe is the author, [1] [10] [11] while others name Sander ex H.J.Veitch as the taxon authors. [2] [3]
It is threatened by habitat loss and overcollection. [1]
The diploid chromosome count of this species is 2n = 38. [12]
This species is rarely cultivated. [8] It has been reported to be very slow growing. [7]
