Dendrobium tozerense

White gemini orchid

The white gemini orchid is a Grastidium-type dendrobium from far north Queensland, forming clumps of wiry stems 20–60 cm long with star-shaped white flowers in pairs. It grows on trees and rocks in rainforest and on cliffs near waterfalls, and flowers in short bursts at intervals through the year. Give it warm, humid, bright-shaded conditions and never let it dry hard.

Where it grows wild

Rainforest and cliffs near waterfalls, growing as an epiphyte on trees or as a lithophyte on rock. Spray zones and humid gorges keep the air moist even in the monsoon dry season.

GBIF records span 180–780 m (median 240 m, four records with elevations), mostly lowland to lower-montane.
