I could not find any such name in the Plant List or on google search. Sorry, I was looking for Dendrobium neriiflorum as mentioned in your subject.
However, now I could find out Dendrobium eriiflorum Griff. as mentioned in your image.
Sorry !! It is Dendrobium eriiflorum, Griff.
Yes Dendrobium eriiflorum!!
. Collected during August.
Flower size: about 1cm
Location: Manipur
Habitat: Wild, Epiphytic
Collected by Nourenpai Something close to Dendrobium eriiflorum Griff. ?? I am thinking this looks like Dendrobium eriiflorum but cant confirm. Cant make out the size. Cant make out if the inflorescence is going up or hanging down.
I tend to call this Dendrobium eriiflorum. .

Is it Dendrobium denudans..? Dendrobium porphyrochilum Lindl. … has sent these pics to me before while I was traveling. Right now I am not confirm even when he provided some dissections as I have yet to see a spread up lip. But this looks close to Dendrobium eriiflorum. Then there was one more species, Dendrobium sessanicum too. Isn’t that sp. endemic to Arunachal Pradesh, … ? Yes so far. But most of the plants are supposedly described as endemic from somewhere. I also doubt that they are same species. OK |
