The Philippines are home to a large and diverse group of plants. Much of the Philippines is covered in tropical rainforests with various epiphytes, vines and climbers. Orchids and ferns are two Philippine plants that grow in large numbers in the forests. However, there are also a handful of rare plants that are found in the Philippines.
