Trichoglottis mindanaensis is a species of epiphytic orchid endemic to the Philippines[2] growing at elevations of 60 to 1,500 meters above sea level. The species was first found on trees overhanging a tidal stream on the island of Mindanao in the Zamboanga peninsula, hence the specific epithet.[3] The orchid is widely distributed throughout the Philippine archipelago and can also be found in the islands of Luzon, Panay and Samar.[4]
