Assam to Peninsula Malaysia: Assam, Bangladesh, Laos, Malaya, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam as per POWO; . Plant blooms in the winter to summer with one to three 8 cm wide flowers. Flowers are fragrant. Orchid for ID : 13 posts by 5 authors. Attachments(2). Location : Lengpui, Mizoram. Date : 26-03-2014. Habit : Herb. Habitat : Wild. Dendrobium aphyllum This is a Dendrobium species. More likely D. primulinum or D. aphyllum with slight variation from both the species. The thick stem, no. of flowers at each node, leaf shape, undulate petals do not support this as D. aphyllum. Further, Dendrobium primulinum does not have the undulate petals. … from CNH, Kolkata may through some light on its identification. This is extraordinary. Actually flower and stem both doesnt match with either D. aphyllum or D. primulinum. or D. cretaceum or D. polyanthum. Can you please have a look at these. This may be the albino form of Dendrobium aphyllum but the undulate form of petals is somwhat confusing. Ofcourse not !! … please look at the stem, forget the flowers !!! This could be Dendrobium aphyllum but what … commented that is true “its stem doesn’t match with D. aphyllum“. Is it a wild or cultivated? I still think this is Dendrobium tortile. Yes this is not Dendrobium aphyllum or D. primulinum or D. cretaceum or D. polyanthum it is look like Dendrobium tortile.
