Dendrobium luteolum

A cane-forming epiphytic Dendrobium with pale yellow flowers, known only from Myanmar and rarely recorded in the wild. GBIF has no wild records with coordinates, so the climate here is from a single regional point in lower Myanmar and the profile leans on typical monsoon-forest Dendrobium conditions.
