Dendrobium lambii is an epiphytic orchid that is endemic to Borneo. It was described in 1983 by botanist Jeffrey James Wood. The specific epithet lambii honours British botanist Anthony Lamb. [2] [1]
The species is closely related to D. revolutum Lindl., which is widespread in Indochina and Malaya. [2]
The species grows as an erect herb to 65 cm in height. The long-lasting, unscented flowers are initially white, shading to cinnamon and olive, before ageing to orange or pink. [2]
The species was collected as an epiphyte upon Dacrydium in semi moss forest, on the Gunong Alab ridge on the crest of the Crocker Range in Sabah, Malaysia, at an elevation of 1,600–1,800 m. [2]
Dendrobium is a genus of mostly epiphytic and lithophytic orchids in the family Orchidaceae. It is a very large genus, containing more than 1,800 species that are found in diverse habitats throughout much of south, east and southeast Asia, including China, Japan, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, New Guinea, Vietnam and many of the islands of the Pacific. Orchids in this genus have roots that creep over the surface of trees or rocks, rarely having their roots in soil. Up to six leaves develop in a tuft at the tip of a shoot and from one to a large number of flowers are arranged along an unbranched flowering stem. Several attempts have been made to separate Dendrobium into smaller genera, but most have not been accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families.
Dendrochilum was a genus of epiphytic, lithophytic and a few terrestrial flowering plants in the orchid family (Orchidaceae). It is now considered to be a synonym of Coelogyne Lindl. The name of this genus was derived from Ancient Greek words dendron ("tree"), and either cheilos ("lip") or chilos, alluding to either the flowers' large lip or to their epiphytic growth. These orchids are popular among orchid collectors.
