Dendrobium
alaticaulinum from New Guinea (Section Pedilonum)
A small dangling epiphyte from the cloud and moss forests up to 10,000
ft. in New Guinea. It needs to be cool and moist all the year round.
The canes are quite soft and flowers appear on the leafless ones each year during autumn and winter. The flowers are in clusters and are pink with a pointed, more reddish lip.
Culture is easy and rewarding when the plants are grown either on a raft or in a pot, neither of which should be allowed to dry out.
