Dendrobium aggregatum

Lindley's dendrobium

Dendrobium aggregatum is the widely used but illegitimate name for Dendrobium lindleyi, a compact epiphyte from the monsoon mountains of southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. It forms dense clumps of small four-angled pseudobulbs, each with one leathery leaf, and carries pendent sprays of golden-yellow flowers in spring. It likes a lot of light and flowers best after a cool, dry winter.
