Trichoglottis atropurpurea trichoglottis philippinensis
The Dark Purple Trichoglottis (Trichoglottis atropurpurea) is a species of orchid endemic to the Philippines. This hot to warm growing epiphyte was first found growing in mangrove swamp in the islands of Biliran, Catanduanes, Mindanao (Agusan del Sur and Davao) and Polillo. The plant shares the same appearance with T. philippinensis except for the rich dark color of the blooms and slight variation of the perianth.
