Phalaenopsis yingjiangensis, also known as 盈江羽唇兰 (ying jiang yu chun lan) in Chinese, is a species of epiphytic orchid native to China South-Central. [3]
Several, distichously arranged, obliquely oblong, nearly basal leaves with an acute apex are produced on a 2 cm long stem. The leaves are 8-13 cm long and 3-4 cm wide. The pendulous, commonly unbranched inflorescences, which exceed the leaves in length, bear many, pale yellow, widely opening flowers. They have brown stripes. [4] Despite the specific epithet yingjiangensis, which refers to the Chinese locality Yingjiang, this species has also been recorded in Thailand and India. [5] [6]
Flowering occurs in August. The plants are found in evergreen broad-leaved forests at elevations of 1300–1400 m.
This species is protected unter the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade. [7]
