Pseuderia samarana
Pseuderia samarana is an endemic species of plant in the family Orchidaceae found in Samar Island and is the first generic record for the genus Pseuderia in the Philippines. The species is initially terrestrial during its seedling stage, then becomes epiphytic upon reaching maturity. It shared similarities with "P. floribunda", and "P. frutex". However, the species scented, 2-flowered inflorescence significantly differs from the latter, along with its narrower labellum and the characteristically entire clinandrium margins. The species is considered Critically Endangered, and is found only in top portion of forest over limestone, and is threatened by land use conversion, timber poaching, and slash-and-burn farming.
