A New Name for Vanda tricolor var. purpurea
Vanda tricolor var. purpurea was described by Cecile Carr in 1932 from plants obtained from Alor. Carr reckoned it the most attractive form of the species. The plant has long been cultivated and prized for its distinctive and attractive flowers. Despite the vast distance between Alor and the Javanese habitat of V. tricolor (Lind.) with no intervening occurrences of the species and the vastly different vegetative and floral characteristics, the name V. tricolor var purpurea has persisted in scientific and horticultural literature. It is here described as a new species, V. kiattanii.
Vanda kiattanii Motes sp nov.
Etymology: named for Dr. Kiat W. Tan, renowned taxonomist and horticulturist.
Type: Alor island Indonesia, May 2025 Motes 25 (FTG)
Affinity to V. tricolor Lindl. But differing in plant size, leaf shape and length, flower size and color, lip shape, inflorescence and flower count.
Conservation Status: Unknown
