Similar to Dend. tenellum, but the flowers and plant are smaller. Jim Cootes says there are 4 species in the Philippines which look similar.

Mini coelogynes on a string. Sweet scent, perfumy and not rank or like cut grass.

Labelled Dendrochilum magnum, Jim Cootes commented that in his opinion it was Dendrochilum macranthum. "I have never seen what I would consider to be a true Dendrochilum magnum, even in the Philippines."

A beautiful species endemic to the Philippines. It has a lovely cinnamon like scent.

From the Philippines. Named for Jim Cootes, a world authority and author of The Orchids of the Philippines

The plant is gorgeous and I wish I could take credit. It was purchased just a few days ago. I needed to see some flowers during our dreadful winter in Montreal.

Labelled Dendrochilum magnum, Jim Cootes commented that in his opinion it was Dendrochilum macranthum. "I have never seen what I would consider to be a true Dendrochilum magnum, even in the Philippines."

Jim Cootes elevated this to species level in 2011. It was previously considered a variety of Dendrochilum curranii (Dendrochilum curranii var. serratoi (Ames) L.O.Williams 1951). From the Philippines.

Described as "fragrant", but personally I think it is rather unpleasant-smelling.

Dendrochilum tenellum is a common orchid species from the Phillipines. Not looking like an orchid at all , this plant that looks much like grass has miniscule flowers less than 1mm across and looks fantastic as a large specimen.
