Abstract
Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim ‘Agnes’, an artificial hybrid between Papilionanthe teres (Lindl.) Schltr. and Papilionanthe hookeriana (Rchb.f.) Schltr., is described and illustrated. This hybrid, still commonly known as Vanda Miss Joaquim, originated in Singapore and was selected as the country's national flower in 1981. It is notable for its vibrant pink-purple flowers borne on inflorescences, its ability to bloom year-round in tropical climates, and its historical importance to Singapore's horticultural and cultural heritage.
