Dendrochilum glumaceum

National Botanic Garden of Belgium.

 

Dendrochilum glumaceum, the Hay-scented Orchid (also known as Husk-like Dendrochilum), was described by John Lindley in 1878[verification needed]. It is an elegant looking epiphytic or lithophytic dendrochilum that occurs in the Philippines and Borneo at altitudes between 700 and 2,300 m.

 

This species possesses long feathery pendulous spikes containing two rows of pure white flowers, with yellow to orange lips, that emerge on each new growth.

 

From each conical to ovoid pseudobulb grows an erect, single, long, oblanceolate leaf
