Dendrobium bilobum

Two-lobed dendrobium

Dendrobium bilobum is a rainforest epiphyte of Melanesia, from New Guinea and the Solomon Islands to Vanuatu, Fiji and New Caledonia. Its clustered, slightly flattened stems carry many thin leaves notched at the tip, and it bears tiny single flowers at any time of year. It grows in constantly warm, wet forest from near sea level into the hills, so it wants steady warmth, moisture and humidity all year.
