Dendrobium erosum
A widespread epiphytic Dendrobium ranging from southern Thailand and Malaya through Indonesia and New Guinea to the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Wild records come mostly from hill and lower montane forest at about 500–1,650 m, including mossy, low primary forest on limestone and serpentine. The measured climate is warm, very even and wet all year, so it wants intermediate-warm, humid conditions without a dry rest.
Where it grows wild
An epiphyte in humid forest; herbarium labels describe it in forest generally and in mossy, low primary forest on limestone and serpentinite soils. Such low, mossy forest lets in a fair amount of light, so plants likely grow on branches in dappled to bright-filtered light. Published species-level habitat detail is thin.
The measured sites lie at about 500–1,650 m (Solomon Islands 500 m, New Britain 1,150 m, Papua New Guinea highlands 1,200 m, Sulawesi 1,305 m and Papua 1,657 m); few records carry an elevation.
