Phalaenopsis mysorensis

It is a miniature epiphytic herb with flat, green roots. Two to four coriaceous, oblong elliptic leaves are formed on a 4.5 to 6.5 mm short stem. The leaves are shed under dry conditions. One to four flowers are formed on axillary, lateral racemes. The flowers are white, rather small (6 – 7 mm in diameter).^[4] They resemble flowers of the closely related Phalaenopsis deliciosa. This species is a member of the section Deliciosae of the subgenus Phalaenopsis.^[5] It grows on isolated hills in dry and intermediate zones, however there it is found in wet, humid niches on tree trunks and branches, covered in moss, which can retain moisture. Lithophytic growth was not recorded.^[4]
