Distribution of Vanda jennae |
Vanda jennae is a species of Vanda endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia. [2] It was discovered in 2005 by Jaap J. Vermeulen and Peter O'Byrne.
Five to eight slightly fragrant flowers are produced on 20 cm long inflorescences. Each flower is approximately 4.5 - 5.5 cm wide. The sepals and petals bear striped patterns of reddish colouration. The labellum is flexible. [3]
It exclusively inhabits the central region of Sulawesi and is typically found at elevations between 1000 and 1200 meters in a dry, grassy valley, where it thrives as an epiphyte on small trees. [3]
The specific epithet jennae references Jenna, the daughter of Peter O'Byrne, who is one of the species authorities. [4]
Seeds of this species were distributed by Peter O'Byrne, who introduced it into cultivation. [4]
The conservation status remains uncertain. [4]
