Dendrobium bifarium

Dendrobium bifarium Lindl. ex Hook.f. is a small Southeast Asian epiphyte with two-ranked leaves, described in the Flora of British India in 1890. Its records span the Malay Peninsula and Borneo from about 100 m to Kinabalu's upper slopes, so it is best treated as an intermediate grower that tolerates warmth.
