Lesser Sunda Is., Malesia, Asia Tropical

a warm-growing, relatively compact epiphyte from the Lesser Sunda Islands. Its assigned name probably relates to the proportions of the lip in each flower, which, being the largest and most prominent among vandas, is certainly a distinguishing feature. In Latin 'insignis' means distinguished or outstanding, just as 'insignia' refers to marks of distinction. [Emrys Chew]

Vanda insignis var. scoederiana is the name given by the botanists of Victorian England to an exceptional and most exquisite albinistic form of the species. It was occasionally depicted alongside the typical form in 19th century chromolithographs (see attached), but was eventually lost to cultivation and presumed extinct.
