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.
Dendrobium kingianum, commonly known as the pink rock orchid, is a flowering plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It usually grows on rocks, rarely as an epiphyte, and has thin, spreading leaves and spikes of up to fifteen, usually pink flowers in late winter to spring. It is popular in Australian native horticulture and is a commonly cultivated orchid among Australian orchid species growers.
Dendrobium nobile, commonly known as the noble dendrobium, is a member of the family Orchidaceae. Dendrobium nobile is one of the most widespread ornamental members of the orchid family. It is the state flower of Sikkim.
Dendrobium parishii is a species of orchid native to Asia.
Dendrobium aduncum is a species of orchid. It is native to southern China, the eastern Himalayas, and northern Indochina. It is an epiphyte and grows on the tree trunks of mountain forests.
Dendrobium anosmum, commonly known as the unscented dendrobium, is a species of epiphytic orchid with large purple flowers. It is widespread across Southeast Asia from Sri Lanka to New Guinea, including Indochina, Indonesia, the Philippines, etc. Despite its common name and scientific name, D. anosmum usually has a strong fragrance reminiscent of raspberries.
Dendrobium aphyllum, commonly known as the hooded orchid or 兜唇石斛 is a species of orchid native to Bangladesh, southern China, the eastern Himalayas, and Indochina.
Dendrobium bigibbum, commonly known as the Cooktown orchid or mauve butterfly orchid, is an epiphytic or lithophytic orchid in the family Orchidaceae. It has cylindrical pseudobulbs, each with between three and five green or purplish leaves and arching flowering stems with up to twenty, usually lilac-purple flowers. It occurs in tropical North Queensland, Australia and New Guinea.
Dendrobium chrysotoxum is a widely cultivated species of orchid. It is native to Southeast Asia, growing naturally in Myanmar, Bhutan, Yunnan, China, Manipur, Assam, India, Bangladesh, Andaman Islands, Laos, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Dendrobium moniliforme, known as Shihu in Chinese and Sekkoku in Japanese, is a species of orchid. It is native to Japan, Korea, China, the Himalayas, and northern Indochina.
Dendrobium secundum, also known as the toothbrush orchid, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Dendrobium of the family Orchidaceae. The common name refers to the fact that all the flowers are on the same side of the stem, much like the bristles all on one side of a toothbrush.
Erythranthe inflatula, synonyms Mimulus inflatulus and Mimulus evanescens, is a rare species of monkeyflower known by the common name disappearing monkeyflower. It is native to the western United States, where it is known from about ten locations in and around the Great Basin within the states of Idaho, Oregon, and California; it is also found in Nevada. Specimens of the plant had been catalogued as Mimulus breviflorus, but on further examination it was evident that they were a separate, unclassified species; this was described to science in 1995. It is thought that the plant may have evolved via hybridization between Erythranthe breviflora and Erythranthe latidens, or that it evolved from E. latidens and then into E. breviflora.
Dendrobium christyanum is a species of orchid (Orchidaceae) endemic to the Chinese island of Hainan.
Dendrobium philippinense is a species of orchid in the genus Dendrobium that is native to the Philippines, for which it is named, and also to the Island of Guam in the Micronesia.
