Dendrobium acaciifolium

Dendrobium acaciifolium is an obscure epiphytic orchid from Sulawesi and the Moluccas, described by J.J. Smith in 1917. There is only a single usable GBIF record and no cultivation literature was found, so these conditions come from that one lowland site and from warm-growing Malesian Dendrobium.
