Dendrobium brassii

Dendrobium brassii is a New Guinea orchid described by Reeve and Woods in 1989 in their revision of section Oxyglossum. Almost nothing about its wild habitat has been published or recorded, so this profile is a cautious genus-level starting point rather than a species-specific recipe.

Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphytic in humid New Guinea forest like most of the island's Dendrobium; the exact forest type and host are not documented in sources we could reach.

Elevation not recorded in GBIF; its section suggests montane rather than lowland forest.
