Dendrobium lohokii J.J.Wood & A.L.Lamb

Submitted by Gary on Wed, 09/02/2011 - 19:18.

Hi Pak,

This looks to me to be Dendrobium lohokii J.J.Wood & A.L.Lamb from section Distichophyllae that was described in 2008. It is known from Sabah, Borneo between 400-900 m altitude.

The following reference says that Den. lohokii resembles Den. daimandauii, Den. hepaticum and the well-known Den. uniflorum. The leaves are narrower than those of the first two species. It is distinguished from all three, by the distinctive tall, fleshy, lamellate Y-shaped keel on the lip.

Cheers.

Gary

Hi Pak
I know that you gave me blanket permission to use your photos but I will post on each photo that I need to use for IOSPE. That way if there is an issue you can tell me.

Hi Pak
I agree with Gary that this is certainly D lohokii. I have the Malesian orchid Journal Vol 1 2008 and it is an exact match for both the photo and the drawing.
