Description
Dendrobium convexum is an epiphytic herb with a brittle root about Шаблон:Convert thick creeping over the surface of rough-barked trees. Shiny pseudobulbs Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide arise at well-spaced intervals along the root, each on a thin stalk about Шаблон:Convert long. There is a single dark green leaf Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide on the end of the pseudobulb. One or two cream-coloured flowers Шаблон:Convert wide appear at the base of the leaf on a pedicel Шаблон:Convert long. The dorsal sepal is Шаблон:Convert long and about Шаблон:Convert wide. The lateral sepals are Шаблон:Convert long and the petals are linear, Шаблон:Convert long and about Шаблон:Convert wide. The labellum is yellow with a red centre, about Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide and has three lobes. Flowering occurs sporadically and the flowers open for less than a day.[1][2][3][4]
Taxonomy and naming
The piggyback orchid was first formally described in 1825 by Carl Ludwig Blume who gave it the name Desmotrichum convexum.[5] He published the description in his book Bijdragen tot de flora van Nederlandsch Indië.[5][6] In 1831, John Lindley changed the name to Dendrobium convexum.[7] The specific epithet (convexum) is a Latin word meaning "arched outward" or "protuberant".[8]
Distribution and habitat
Dendrobium convexum grows in mangroves, humid areas of scrub, forest and rainforest mainly on rough-barked trees. It occurs in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, New Guinea and on the Cape York Peninsula as far south as Innisfail, Australia.[1][2][3]
