10 inches long, usually topped with three lanceolate or oblong lanceolate leaves. 
It bears one or two short racemes from the apex of each matured growth, each 
raceme having a few (seldom more than 4) small whitish, fragrant flowers in 
late Summer. A2. B2. C1. D1. El. (or ES.) (ea) F13. 
DENDROBIUM ADUNCUM. Native of Himalayas, Upper Burma, etc. 
An evergreen orchid with slender, pendulous stems about 20 inches long, and 
somewhat untidy in growth. Leaves narrow and pointed. Flowers small, white 
suffused with pink. They are borne on short racemes which grow from the joints 
of the older stems, there being from 3 to 6 flowers on each spike. Flowering 
period midsummer to early Autumn. A4, B3. C2. D3. El. (or E4.) (ea) F8. 
DENDROBIUM AEMULUM. Native of Eastern Australia. 
A charming little evergreen native, worth growing in masses, when it makes an 
attractive show in the Spring time. The stems are slender and up to about 9 
inches in length, though generally shorter. Leaves are ovate, fleshy and dark 
green. The racemes, which appear from the axils of the leaves, are pendulous, and 
carry a few (though as many as 15 have been noted) white flowers (about 14 
inches across when spread), the lower part of the sepals and petals being often 
tinted pale pink. They are sweetly scented. Although moderately sized when 
spread, the habit of the flower is to droop its petals and sepals, and when grown 
in a mass this has a graceful effect. A2. B3. C3. D1. El. (or 3, 4 or 5.) (ea) F13. 
DENDROBIUM AGGREGATUM. Native of Northern India and Southern China. 
A desirable dwarf-growing species with short (3 to 4 inches) stout, furrowed 
pseudobulbs, crowned with a single fleshy, oblong, green leaf. The drooping 
racemes spring from the sides of the pseudobulbs and carry from 6 to 10 clear 
yellow blooms in a cluster. The lip is hairy, and is rather darker in colour than 
the sepals and petals, and has an orange stain at the base. Flowers in late Spring 
or early Summer. Al, B1, C3, D3, El. (or 4 or 5) (ea) F111. 
DENDROBIUM AGROSTOPHYLLUM. North Queensland. 
A rare but rather insignificant Dendrobe of botanical interest. Stems 10 inches 
to a foot in height with grass-like leaves from about the middle of the stems. The 
short racemes grow from the axils of the leaves and carry a few yellow flowers. 
Lateral sepals narrow and pointed, dorsal sepal oblong and about a third of an inch 
in length. Petals ovate and a little longer. The labellum nearly square, about 
half an inch long and wide. Interesting from its rarity. A2. B2. C2. Dl. El. 
(ea) F13. 
DENDROBIUM ALBO-SANGUINEUM. Native of Moulmein. 
A fine species with short, stout stems about a foot in height, and } to 3 inch 
through. The leaves are about 6 inches long, broad and pointed, and of good 
texture. The flowers grow two or three together on a short scape which issues 
from the upper joints of the stems. They are about four inches across, sepals 
and petals are creamy white, the petals being about twice as broad as the sepals
