Cylindrolobus cootesii
Cylindrolobus cootesii (Cootes' cylindrolobus) is plant species of the family Orchidaceae endemic to the Philippines.[2] It is found in the Philippines on the island of Luzon at elevations around 500 meters. It is a small to medium-sized, hot growing epiphyte with an elongated, slightly compressed stem carrying many towards the apical 1/2 to 1/3, distichous, spreading, narrow lanceolate, leathery, basally clasping leaves. It bears flowers on an axillary, .6 to .8" (1.5 to 2 cm) long, single flowered inflorescence. Cylindrolobus cootesii is named after Jim Cootes, an Australian orchid collector.
