This orchid is a member of one of the largest orchid genera, Dendrobium, which includes more than 1,000 species, ranging from India and Sri Lanka east to Japan and south through the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and New Guinea to Australia and the Pacific Islands. Dendrobium stratiotes, which hails from the Moluccan islands of eastern Indonesia, is a favorite among orchid enthusiasts for its delicate structure, brightly veined lip, and antler-like sepals (the modified leaves in the outer whorl of a flower). |
