Description HistoryThe name of the species appeared before the plant, which is currently called by this name, was discovered. In 1933, the Phalaenopsis was found by the Dutch botanist Korthals (1807–1892) in the Palembang region (South Sumatra ). In 1939, it was described under the name Phalaenopsis sumatrana. Then a drawing appeared.
Later it turned out that the described plant is a rediscovered Phalaenopsis inscriptiosinensis .
The plant, now called Phalaenopsis sumatrana, was discovered in Sumatra by the Dutch orchid collector Gerssen in 1859. Gerschen worked for the floriculture company Teijsmann and collected Phalaenopsis violacea for it.
The found plants were given the name Phalaenopsis zebrina and sent to Europe to the Leida Botanical Garden. Only one plant survived from the entire party, which bloomed safely in the culture and was described by Heinrich Reichenbach in 1860 under the name Phalaenopsis sumatrana.
In 1864, the species was introduced into the culture by Low and Co.
Biological Description
Phalaenopsis sumatrana from Lucien Linden & Emile Rodigas's Lindenia Iconographie des Orchidées, 1892
Monopodial epiphyte , extremely rare lithophyte of medium size.
The stem is short, hidden by the bases of 3–7 leaves. The roots are smooth, thick, well developed.
The leaves are thick, bright green, hanging, oblong-oval, 15-30 cm long, 4-11 cm wide.
Peduncles are perennial, up to 30 cm long, simple, sometimes branched, oblique, green in color, bear 3-10 oppositely located flowers that open almost simultaneously.
Flowers are star-shaped, fragrant, 4–7.5 cm in diameter, with a waxy texture. Coloring of flowers varies widely. The petals are white with various shades of lemon yellow, cream or green, the transverse stripes are red-brown.
The lip is white with an orange spot and lilac stripes. Flowers may not fade - 2-3 months. The peak blooms in spring and summer, but individual flowering plants can be found all year round.
From Phalaenopsis corningiana it is easily distinguished by a less “sweet” smell of flowers.

On the trunks and branches of trees in humid foothills and floodplain forests at altitudes from 0 to 700 meters above sea level.
Ecological features of this species are similar to Phalaenopsis violacea .
In places of natural growth, there are practically no seasonal temperature fluctuations. All year round, daytime temperatures are around 22–25 ° C, and nighttime temperatures are around 13–16 ° C.
