Discussion

endemic? This means that they have their highest concentration in that area. They are NOT endemic to that area.

are predominantly found (in this region)

this is my interpretation...

In nature, phalaenopsis are predominantly found in three distinct habitats, with the majority living in constantly moist or humid areas. They are also found in regions with seasonally dry or seasonally cool weather.
