Dendrobium bandii

A Sumatran Dendrobium described by Cavestro (2020), with no usable wild GBIF records. The only climate available is a hot, very humid lowland point on the equator. Growers should confirm their plant's provenance, because many Sumatran Dendrobium come from cooler hills.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic, as in most Sumatran Dendrobium; the forest type and elevation are not documented in sources reachable here. The climate point the pipeline used is lowland (about 80 m), but it is a placeholder, not a collection site.

Unknown. The single climate point is at about 80 m, which may not reflect where the species grows.
