Default terrestrial dendrobium?
I have this terrestrial orchid blooming right now, with long canes. I'm guessing it may be Dendrobium pleianthum, but can anyone confirm or otherwise?



Thanks,
Phil

Looks like D,pandanicola. How big are the flowers? About 25mm? D.pandanicola is an epiphyte, but if they fall into duff and leaf litter,sometimes they are able to thrive. They are endemic to N.G.w/a height of as much as 60cm x up to 40cm spread. That's my best guess,but then I am a rank amateur.Brad

No, much smaller - I'd say 5mm across for each flower - but now they are all dead and I can't measure them!

PNGPhil, it is Dendrobium pleianthum. A very large species, look like bamboo.
