Dendrobium aurantiivinosum

Dendrobium x aurantiivinosum is a natural hybrid described by van Royen in 1979 in The Alpine Flora of New Guinea, which places it in the high mountains of New Guinea. No records carry coordinates, so conditions are inferred from high-elevation New Guinea Dendrobium; it needs cool, bright, constantly moist conditions, not the lowland heat of the placeholder climate site.

Where it grows wild

High-montane to subalpine New Guinea, where small Dendrobium grow on mossy shrubs, low trees and rocks in cold, misty, bright conditions.

Inferred as high montane to subalpine (roughly 2500 m and above) from its publication in The Alpine Flora of New Guinea.
