Phalaenopsis inscriptiosinensis is a species of orchid endemic to central Sumatra.[1]
The plants are short-stemmed epiphytes with 3-5, elliptic-oblong, 8-16 cm long and 4-8 cm wide leaves. The 3.5 cm wide, white or pale yellow flowers bear transverse band of brown, which are reflected in the specific epithet inscriptiosinensis, as they are thought to resemble inscription on the petals and sepals. They are produced on axillary, decurved, 2-5 flowered racemes.[2]
