ORIGIN: Found only in northwestern Thailand in open deciduous montane forests on tree branches at elevations of 1100 to 1250 meters.

DESCRIPTION: Miniature sized, cool growing epiphyte with densly clustered, tiny, round pseudobulbs enveloped by onion-like sheaths and carrying several deciduous at flowering leaves that blooms in the winter on a 1.2 to 2.4" [3 to 6 cm] long, 4 to 6 flowered inflorescence arising from the apex of leafless stems. D elliotianum, D gregulus, D garretii and D microbulbon are often mixed up. They can be easily separated by D elliotianum having a solid purple lip with a white flower, D gregulus has a light sulphur yellow flower with red purple veined sidelobes and D garretii has off white flowers with violet veins and a white or green lip with a central yellow patch and purple veined sidelobes. D microbulbon has a mostly white flower with just a few rose markings on the sidelobes and a white lip.

FLOWER SIZE: 0.6 inches [1.5 cm] -- information provided by Jay Pfahl, author of the Internet Orchid Species Encyclopedia (IOSPE).
