A new, tiny jewel orchid has been discovered on the island of Bohol and named
Corybas boholensis as described by researchers from multiple academic institutions in the Philippines, Taiwan, and USA. The finding was recently published in the scientific journal Phytotaxa on December 24, 2020.
Plants in the genus Corybas typically possess a small, single leaf and a single flower with a hood-like dorsal sepal, earning them the nickname “helmet orchids” in the botanical and horticultural worlds. Helmet orchids are also considered “jewel orchids” due to their striking foliage. They are difficult to find and study as they are miniscule and usually hidden amongst forest debris and other plants.
