Paraphalaenopsis labukensis is an orchid (family Orchidaceae) commonly called the rat-tailed orchid and native to Borneo.[1][2] It is most notable for its very long narrow leaves; in cultivation their length may grow longer than 2 meters (6.5 ft), though in the wild they only reach 1.2 m (4 ft).[3]
