New orchid species 'Habenaria diwata' discovered in Mt. Malinao forest

According to the nonprofit group focused on documenting the country’s native plants, the orchid was found growing in cool, high-elevation forests over 1,200 meters above sea level.

It features a slim flowering stalk that can carry up to 50 delicate greenish-white flowers with long, slender, and uniquely shaped floral parts.

In Filipino mythology, "diwata" refers to a forest spirit or guardian.

The researchers said the name reflects the orchid's graceful and mystical appearance.
