Dendrobium angulatum

A small-flowered epiphytic Dendrobium of monsoon rainforests from Assam and Bangladesh through Myanmar and Thailand to Vietnam and Malaya. Its slender stems are 40 to 100 cm long, and its flowers are only 1 to 1.2 cm long, white with pink lines on the lip, appearing from April to July. It needs a hot, very wet summer and a cooler, much drier winter.
