Dendrobium
Description of the genus
Comment: One of the largest genera in the family and extremely popular in horticulture with a multitude of cultivated hybrids exciting on top of the natural species. It would be impossibly to list all the species and hybrids grown by collectors and growers inside or outside of greenhhouses in Zimbabwe but the few species listed here are easy to grow and well adaptable to the climate in the country and are therefore often seen in gardens. Worldwide: c. 1600 species in Tropical & Subtropical Asia, Australia, Pacific Islands and New Zealand. Zimbabwe: 1 cultivated taxon. |
