Dendrobium acuminatissimum

A cane-stemmed, grass-leaved epiphytic Dendrobium of section Grastidium, spread across western Malesia to New Guinea. Like others in the section it produces short-lived paired flowers along leafy stems. Conditions here come from the hot, everwet lowland climate at its recorded sites plus general Grastidium habits.

Where it grows wild

Epiphyte in humid lowland and lower montane rainforest, typically on trunks and branches in the lower to mid canopy, as is usual for Grastidium; no species-specific habitat notes were reachable.

Measured sites range from sea level to about 800 m; few records carry an elevation.
