Dendrobium nareshbahadurii

A critically endangered epiphytic Dendrobium known only from its original 1982 collection near Jameri, by the present Sessa Orchid Sanctuary in West Kameng, Arunachal Pradesh, India. It has 15–20 cm stems, narrow leaves and pale green-and-purple flowers 25–30 mm long, borne in October. It has not been recorded since, so plants sold under this name should be treated with suspicion and care advice is inferred from its foothill habitat.

Where it grows wild

It was collected at about 600 m, with a possible range up to 1200 m. There are no wild GBIF records, so elevation was not measured.
