Dendrobium agamense

A Sumatran Dendrobium described by J.J. Smith in 1926, named after the Agam district of West Sumatra. There are no wild GBIF records, and the one measured site gives a hot lowland climate that may not match the highlands of Agam, so treat this profile as a cautious guide.

Where it grows wild

Its habitat is undocumented in the available sources. Most Sumatran Dendrobium grow as epiphytes in humid forest. The Agam area includes both lowland and highland (roughly 900–1000 m and above) forest.

Unknown. The name suggests the Agam region of West Sumatra, which is largely upland around Bukittinggi.
