Dendrobium aphyllum (Roxb.) C.E.C.Fisch. in J.S.Gamble, Fl. Madras: 1416 (1928). Synonyms
Flora picture of the year 2011 UD Serendipity: Very nice picture of a beautiful orchid. I like the mild and pleasant color of flowers. And, as usual, well-narrated incident…Thanks … for sharing. This plant had been very much problematic. Named and changed and renamed. Serendipitously this month’s ‘Oikos’ desktop calender is also ‘dendrobium’ and the flowers in the picture they have utilized look very similar to yours in terms of color etc (definitely not the same picture though) although they have called it ‘dendrobium microbulbon.’ … wanted to see a close up… this is the best…. I cant imagine this to be in South of 24 Parganas. Strange. I reported it for the first time in Jharkhand. Its not there in Orissa. Not even in Bangladesh. This plant is most probably planted or an escape from gardens. It is found on middle of higher elevations in West Bengal and then northeastwards. Few months back I happened to be speaking at one national orchid conference in Sikkim. There was someone who did predictive modelling of Cymbidium in Sikkim. And according to her model, there was chances Thanks for sharing the cropped image of your plant. I just wanted to see the lip character in a close-up shot.

Dendrobium cuculatum – Growing at my balcony. Started blooming now after a prolonged winter rest. – Where did you get this plant from? – I bought this plant from an exhibition in Mumbai. Yes, it will look more beautiful in a hanging pot when in flower as it is a pendulous type orchid. Yes the orchid in the last picture is a Phalaenopsis. – Thats sad but this is not a hybrid and hence its sale is illegal if it has been collected from wild. .

Dendrobium aphyllum.       
. Dendrobium cucullatum – growing in our balcony Place : Dombivli Date : 18.04.2012 Yes now it is called Dendrobium aphyllum as before. The synonym (With 3 star confidence level) of Dendrobium cucullatum is Dendrobium pierardii Roxb. ex Hook.
But the confidence level is of only one star. Everything on internet (including The Plant List) cant be right sir. May I know the exact references you are quoting so that I can forward it to the mentor of the specific page at the Plant List for correction. http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=57084 The Plant List is quoted in our group so frequently. In this case the statement made by both of us seems correct. If The Plant List is itself confused or in developing stage then I feel that it must not be quoted in scientific discussions. Yes sir. But my first concern I laid few months back when Plant List came into exsistence. I imagine why there was a need for Plant List when we already had Kew’s Checklist. Unfortunately there are huge mistakes in the Plant List. Till date I have written them nearly six letters pointing more than 500 errors and ommisions. Unfortunately many Indian taxa and their names are missing totally from the List. There is no one to own responsibility and I don’t know how this confusion will be solved. At present we have just to pick up what is more recent in taxonomic and nomenclatural status of our plants. The Plant List people have not bothered to even copy whole of IPNI in what they claim a “Complete List of World Plants” In that case we must discourage fellow members to use The Plant List. I searched our group https://groups.google.com/forum/indiantreepix/%22 Well. Just checked the Kew List. It seems confused like the Plant List.;(
In fact, the plant list just copied the content of Kew.
Any other source for try?
It is better to invite … for real discussion. … is a nice person. He always replied to my mails when ever I needed. But it would be better if you select the Family expert for a species. The list of experts are given on following link. Firstly yes, India has been lagging behind w.r.t. to research and many other things. We suffer from Diabetes and then go to a Baba who gives us kheer and we eat the kheer thinking it will get rid of our diabetes. But, in this context we cant compare ourselves with HK because HK is just less than 1000 square kilometers and India is around 3,300,000 sq.kms. But yes, then we can compare our advancement in science with China!! There are so many rules and regulations made in India by ourselves that we cant do proper research. I am a part of the project where we would be revising Bulbophyllums of Asia. Now I need 100 species from India, just small leaf piece but I cant. There are rules which stops me from doing it. There are many species which are common with China and on both sides there are lot of mistakes, because in both countries people didnt consult each other for the betterment of science.
If we keep fighting, then we cant reach a solution. I am talking about plants not politics!! Baba ki kheer contains Vijayasar when given for Diabetes, Apamarg when patients are suffering from Bhasmak diseases, Arjun and Gorakhmundi for respiratory diseases, Koha for Heart diseases. Kheer is medium not the remedy. It is never ending list of ingredients. Considering that The Plant List is not always reliable, I have often suggested on this forum that let us keep our eyes (and options) open. GRIN is a good Database (though largely USA plants), so is The Plant List partly, and Sorting Plant names. We follow the one which has been updated more recently (for example if GRIN has been updated after 2010 and it carries different conclusion from PLant list, we follow GRIN). Plus if there is any recent publication, we follow that. I remember myself and … had exchanges for five-six hours in the night (myself in California and … in India) and did’t leaves before the issue was resolved, and clinching document was Revision of Indian Ranunculus kindly sent by … to me, in the same way as original paper by … recently helped us to detect and resolve the folly (rather blunder) in Flora of Pakistan (both online and hard copy versions) concerning Ipomoea sindica. .
