Dendrobium moniliforme / Sekkoku セッコク

 

Dendrobium moniliforme is a perennial orchid that inhabits rocks or trunks by spreading and sticking many roots. Stems are in bundles, with a height of 10-30cm, and have many nodes, and each internode has many streaks. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis, each lanceolate thick, approximately 5cm long, and lasting a few years. Flowers, one or two in number, white to light pink, bloom at the nodes having lost leaves; the sepals are three, the lateral petals the two being approximately the same length, about 2.5cm long. The lips are shorter than the sepals or petals and oval-oblong-shaped. Bloom time: May-June.
