Dendrobium burkeanum

A Maluku Dendrobium described by Ormerod in 2009 from very little material; GBIF holds no usable wild records. Its conditions here come from the lowland Ambon-area climate the range points to and general practice for lowland Moluccan Dendrobium: constant warmth, high humidity and water all year.
