Trichoglottis atropurpurea
Trichoglottis atropurpurea, the dark purple trichoglottis, is a species of orchid endemic to the Philippines.[2] This hot to warm growing epiphyte was first found growing in mangrove swamps in the islands of Biliran, Catanduanes, Mindanao (Agusan del Sur and Davao) and Polillo.[3] The plant shares the same appearance with T. philippinensis except for the rich dark color of the blooms and slight variation of the perianth.[4]
