Dendrobium lasioglossum

Dendrobium lasioglossum was described by Reichenbach in 1868 and remains poorly known. Kew lists it for Myanmar, while Wikipedia calls it a New Guinea endemic. This profile follows Kew and the Myanmar reference climate, which is monsoonal with a hot, dry spring and a strong winter dry season.
