Dendrobium guibertii

An epiphytic Dendrobium described in 1876 from a plant in French cultivation and now listed as endemic to Thailand. Its synonym Callista guibertii puts it with the Callista (Densiflora-type) dendrobiums such as D. chrysotoxum and D. densiflorum. Almost nothing about its wild habitat has been published, so this profile generalises from those relatives and the monsoon climate of Thailand: bright light, warm wet summers, and a cooler, drier winter rest.

Where it grows wild

No habitat description for this species was found. Its Callista-group relatives in Thailand grow as epiphytes on trees in seasonally dry to evergreen hill forest, in bright, broken shade.

No elevations are recorded; all three GBIF records are cultivated plants or DNA samples. Its Thai relatives usually grow at about 500–1,500 m, but that has not been confirmed for this species.
