Dendrobium aduncum
Submitted by sibbie on Tue, 02/12/2008 - 15:39
I purchased this orchid with the label Den anosum. Do you agree it is more likely to be Den aduncum?

Den aduncum
I agree this is definitly not D. anosmum.
maybe/maybe not
The photo is a bit hard to get much detail but if you compare to this one (especially the close-up) maybe/maybe not http://www.orchidspecies.com/denadunctum.htm

D. aduncum
I think maybe this picture gives a closer match - http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1070/539272126_3e6a3f337f.jpg?v=0
What do you think?
Den. ??
Hi Sibbie, has your flower got a very sharp point at the lip, I can't tell from this photo, if it has, you would be correct with Den. aduncum.

flowers
Sibbie, That is one very distinctive pristine flower and a very sharp image. Hard to believe that it belongs to the scraggly plant you show in your earlier image.
bernabu
Maybe buds coming now.
Yes, It is a strange and scraggly plant but the flowers are very beautiful though small. There are a whole lot of new buds or shoots coming out along the canes this week. If they all turn out to be bunches of flowers it should be quite a sight. Will post a photo in due course if worthwhile.

surfed for photos
Hi all, I have just surfed the net and looked at lots of photos of both Den aduncum and Den linguella and compared them with my plant. I become increasingly convinced that it very like or identical to Den linguella. If it is Den linguella, one website suggested it makes a good specimen plant given plenty of room.
The new buds continue to swell.
Sibbie
Confused
What's the difference between Den linguella and aduncum?
Den linguella and aduncum
Ian, linguella has a cone shaped structure near the base of the labellum, Den. aduncum doesn't.
We are waiting for Sibbie's flowers to be sure of the ID.
