Which orchid No. 2 Kangla Fort Imphal – efloraofindia | Google Groups

I have shot a few pictures of flora during my trip to the Andamans last month (March’2015).

Not a Botanist but a Photographer documenting the environment especially Flora

of our country.

I am posting here a couple of pictures of an Orchid which is a Dendrobium but do not know which species and would please like our experts to help. I hope asking for this is ok as it would also benefit

many in the group.

I will post the remaining flora pics as convenient and ready.

The pics and info on the group has helped me immensly with my collection/documentation

of flowers of the Valley of Flowers and the adjoining Himalayan ranges whicjh I have been working on over the last 10 years.

Thank you all for being here on the group to help novices like myself.

This is so confusing but after keeping a bit stone on my heart I would say this is Dendrobium primulinum and not Dendrobium aphyllum…. 🙂

---

This could be Dendrobium aphyllum (Roxb.) C.E.C.Fisch.

---

It is Dendrobium aphyllum – Orchidaceae

---

Primulinum 🙂

---

In aphyllum the lateral petals are much broader and in primulinum they are narrower. Primulinum also comes with yellow mark on the labellum, not complete white labellum is not uncommon.

This is Dendrobium polyanthum Wall. ex Lindl.

---

Dendrobium polyanthum = Dendrobium primulinum 🙂

Thank you …,
