Dendrobium lampongense

Dendrobium lampongense JJ Sm 1908
Section Calcarifera


This plant was coming from Kalimantan. At first I thought it was Dendrobium cinereum. However, the flower is quite big and stronger in color than Dendrobium cinereum. Then my friend confirmed that this is Dendrobium lampongense.

  2. I thought this orchid were natives of Lampung... that's where the name lampongense came from. but it's so strange that u say it comes from Kalimantan, he he he... but it's okay, likes phal amboinensis that had widespread in sulawesi

  4. Mas Wawan,
    Thank you for your comments. Actually I got it mixed up. It was in a bundle with Dendrobium cinereum. But when the flower kept on getting bigger before it was blooming, then I thought i got a Dendrobium sanguinolentum. However Mrs Eliyani corrected that it was actually Dendrobium lampongense.

    I dont know where you can get it from nursery in Jakarta, but you can ask Mrs Eliyani if she has more at her collection.
    Good luck!
