Taxonomy and naming

The rainforest feather orchid was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones and Mark Clements from a plant grown in the Australian National Botanic Gardens, originally from a specimen collected from the Bugong National Park. It was given the name Tropilis eburnea and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[2][3] In 2014, Julian Shaw changed the name to Dendrobium deuteroeburneum.[4] The specific epithet (eburnea) given by Jones and Brown is a Latin word meaning "of ivory",[5]Шаблон:Rp referring to the colour of the flowers of this orchid.[2] Deuteros is an Ancient Greek word meaning "second".[5]Шаблон:Rp

Distribution and habitat

Dendrobium deuteroeburneum usually grows on rainforest trees, sometimes on rocks in wet forests. It occurs between Fraser Island in Queensland and Bega in New South Wales.[1][2]
