Abstract
This study was focusing on identifying types of epiphytic orchid species through field survey by establishing plots and tracks for observation. The main parameter in the study was morphological characteristic of epiphytic orchid that covers shape, root, stem, leaf, fruit, and flower as well as its growing habitat. From the result standpoint, 6 epiphytic orchid species were identified that consisted of Dendrobium bifalce Lindl, Dendrobium mirbelianum Gaudich, Dendrobium schulleri J.J.Sm, Grammatophylum scriptum (Lindl.) Blume, Grammatophylum speciosum Blume, and Pomatocalpa sp aff Marsupial. In addition to their hosted plant, the result found several species of plant such as Mangifera indica, Alstonia scholaris, Baringtonia asicatica, Pometia sp, and Terminalia catappa which their growth was mostly sticking to the main stem and branch.

Summary
Hutan sudah diketahui sebagai salah satu sumber daya alam yang dapat diperbaharui dan banyak memiliki manfaat bagi kelangsungan hidup manusia. Hutan Papua mengandung sumber daya alam yang sangat melimpah dengan keanekaragaman secara optimal, salah satu sumber daya hayati Papua adalah kekayaan jenis flora yang cukup potensial dan tersebar mulai dari daerah pesisir pantai hingga dataran tinggi dan Pegunungan (Petocz 1987; Bratawinata 2001; Lekitoo et al 2017). Daya hayati yang tumbuh di wilayah pesisir dan kepulauan ini dapat dijumpai di salah satu pulau yang terletak pada kabupaten Manokwari provinsi Papua Barat, yang juga merupakan situs bersejarah bagi umat Kristen di tanah Papua yaitu Pulau Mansinam. Jenis flora yang dapat dijumpai tumbuh secara alami di pulau ini antara lain Coconut nucifera (kelapa), Intsia bijuga (kayu besi), Elaeocarpus sp, Terminalia catappa (ketapang), Premna corymbosa, Ficus nadosa (buah roda), jenis epifit seperti Pothos sp., dan anggrek. Adapun tujuan dari studi ini yaitu untuk mengidentifikasi jenis - jenis anggek, mendokumentasi distribusi jenis anggrek, dan untuk mengidentifikasi jenis pohon inang yang ditumbuhi oleh jenis anggrek yang terdapat di Pulau Mansinam
