Orchidaceae Fortnight: Dendrobium heyneanum 151013 GK 16 : Attachments (2). 5 posts by 5 authors. Dendrobium heyneanum from KMTR Tamil Nadu These are the true beauties of western ghats that you had been hiding for so long. Thanks so much for the enlightenment!!
Submitting images of a specimen which I believe is a Dendrobium spp for further identification. Date/time: 06-06-2015/ about 5-15 PM Location: Devaramane, Mudigere, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1500msl Habitat: Wild, Shola forest. Habit; An epiphytic orchid. This looks like Dendrobium heyneanum I am a bit confused, Dendrobium heyneanum or Dendrobium panduratum. I think ... is right. Here you are mentioning only one species therefore use sp. instead of spp. When you have multiple species of a genus to be mentioned use spp. Just a minor correction but important as far as taxonomic principles are concerned.
109-TSP-ID-070CT2016-1: Dendrobium sp @ Kottigehara-1 for ID : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3) Kindly examine and identify this Dendrobium sp (Orchidaceae).......I understand that Dendrobium heyneana, Dendrobium panduratum and Dendrobium wightii are strikingly similar to one another. I could not place them appropriately...!? Habit:Herb Habitat:Epiphytic, growing close to the ground on lower branches,Evergreen forest Sighting:Kottigehara,Chikmagalur,Karnataka,about 1100 msl Date:09-09-2015 Its not easy to make out as I cant see anything like mucronate apex. I cant see the stem. Proper detailed pics may help. If I had to guess, just because all of them are found at same broad location I tend to call them same, hence, Dendrobium heyneanum.

Habit:Herb Habitat:Epiphytic, growing close to the ground on lower branches,Evergreen forest Sighting:Kottigehara,Chikmagalur,Karnataka,about 1100 msl Date:13-08-2016 I will quote from Memoirs of Seidenfaden although I am not a big fan of this book: "This species is often confused with D. wightii, but the lip characters (obovate pinkish with white 3-lobed, erect acute sidelobes with green striped and orbicular-oblong midlone, subrotund, fleshy, incise crenate on margin and mucronate at the apex; disc with longitudinal calli) and laterally compressed stems of D. heyneanum are very characteristic." Now you plant shows all characters except the green markings on side lobes and I am not sure I do think there are two longitudinal calli on the lip. Hence this should be heyneanum. But cant say that for sure. Cant see the stem. References: The Plant List |
