Dendrobium agrostophylloides

An epiphytic Dendrobium described by Schlechter in 1912 from New Guinea, named for its resemblance to the orchid genus Agrostophyllum, which suggests leafy, flattened stems with two ranks of leaves. Records come from both lowland rainforest and montane river valley forest in Papua New Guinea, and the measured sites are warm-intermediate and constantly wet.
