New orchid species 'Habenaria diwata' discovered in Mt. Malinao forest
Manila Bulletin
|July 20 2025
A new orchid species, named “Habenaria diwata,” has been discovered in the highland mossy forests of Mt. Malinao in Albay, the Philippine Taxonomic Initiative (PTI) announced on Saturday, July 19.
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.
