Dendrobium acuiferum

A New Guinea Dendrobium described by Ormerod in 2017 in his checklist of Papuasian orchids. GBIF holds no wild records and no climate could be measured, so this profile is a genus-level guide for an epiphytic New Guinea Dendrobium of unknown elevation.

Where it grows wild

The habitat is not documented in the sources available. Most New Guinea Dendrobium are epiphytes on trunks and branches in humid forest, and this profile assumes the same.

Unknown. New Guinea Dendrobium range from sea level to above 3000 m, and the elevation decides whether a plant needs warm or cool conditions.
