Ceratochilus biglandullosus is a species of orchid native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in regions like Borneo, Sumatra, and the Malay Peninsula. Characterized by its unique two large glands at the base of the lip, which is a distinctive feature leading to its species name "biglandullosus". This orchid thrives in humid, tropical climates, typically growing as an epiphyte—attached to trees—where it receives ample moisture and indirect light. Its specific adaptation and floral structure are of interest in botanical studies, contributing to the understanding of plant evolution and interactions within ecosystems.
