01Narrative

Aerides leeana is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae. It is endemic to the Philippines.Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Growing in brightly lit environments at low altitude, found in the provinces of Bataan, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Cavite, Quezon and Rizal on the island of Luzon in the Philippines, Aerides leeana is erect 35 cm tall, and monopodial, it sometimes becomes pendulous.

05DNA & barcoding4 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Aerides leeana has left across the world's sequence archives.

Where the DNA of Aerides leeana was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How strong is each trace?

DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
