General Description:

Dendrobium is a large genus with around 1400 species spread throughout Asia and the Pacific. Australia has about 56 species, many of which are cultivated.

Considerable hybridization has been carried out within the genus to produce improved horticultural forms and a number of naturally occurring hybrids are also

in cultivation.

Major taxonomic revision of the Dendrobium group has occurred in recent years with many species being transferred to new genera. Some of these changes have

been reasonably widely accepted (eg Dockrillia) while the status of others is less certain. Dendrobium x delicatum is retained as the name for this hybrid here until

the taxonomic situation becomes more clear.
