Papilionanthe hookeriana, also known as kinta weed, is a species of orchid. It is the pollen parent of the hybrid Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim, which was originally hybridised by Agnes Joaquim.
The species is native to Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.[2]
This species is terrestrial or semi-aquatic, as opposed to many other orchid species that are epiphytic. It grows in full sun in swamps near sea level.[3] These freshwater swamp forests may grow along the edges of a lakes. The soil can be very acidic, with pH values ranging between 4 and 5. [4] These habitats are threatened from logging, fire and land conversion. [5] And therefore this species has been declining in Indonesia since the early 1990s. A program of the University of Riau made a restoration effort, re-planting artificially multiplied plants back into their intended habitat in 2007 and 2008. [6] Further studies on micropropagation and acclimatisation of plantlets have been undertaken. [7][8]
The plants should be flooded during the growing season. This is quite unusual, as the other representatives of the genus are adapted to an epithytic growth habit and thus are drought tolerant. The peduncle of the inflorescence is longer than the leaves of the plant. [9]
