Taxonomy and naming
Dendrobium teretifolium was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown and the description was published in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.[3][4] The specific epithet (teretifolium) is from derived from the Latin words teres meaning "rounded"[5]Шаблон:Rp and folium meaning "a leaf".[5]Шаблон:Rp
Distribution and habitat
The thin pencil orchid grows on rocks but usually on trees, with a preference for hoop pine Araucaria cunninghamii in Queensland and for Casuarina glauca in New South Wales. It occurs on the coast and nearby ranges from near Calliope to Bega and is found in rainforest, along streams and near mangroves.[1][2]
