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