Dendrobium bakoense

Described by J.J. Wood in 2008; the epithet appears to refer to Bako National Park in Sarawak, a coastal sandstone park with heath (kerangas) forest. There are no wild GBIF records, so these conditions combine one Bornean climate point with that likely lowland, heath-forest setting.

Where it grows wild

Probably an epiphyte of lowland Bornean forest. If the name refers to Bako, the habitat may be kerangas heath forest on sandstone, which is lower, brighter and more open than mixed dipterocarp forest. The species' own habitat was not checked.

Unknown. Bako is a lowland coastal park; the pipeline's climate point is at about 430 m.
