Amesiella philippinensis is a species of orchid endemic to the Island of Luzon in the Philippines.[2][3][4] Like Vanda falcata it was mistaken as an Angraecum species, due to the white, long-spurred flowers. The plant produces rounded leaces up to 5 cm in length. Three or four white, fragrant flowers of 3 cm in width are produced on short inflorescences. The labellum is yellow in the throat.[5] It occurs at lower altitudes than Amesiella monticola and has a shorter spur.[6]
