Dendrobium arunachalense

Dendrobium arunachalense was described in 2006 from Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern Himalaya. There are no wild GBIF records; the only climate site is a placeholder at about 3380 m, far colder than the subtropical forest where most eastern Himalayan Dendrobium grow, so conditions here follow those Dendrobium and a winter cool, drier rest.
