Hello friends

Seen these flowers near Wilson point in Mahabaleshwar, MH in March 2020.

They were so tiny, nearly the size of half a fingernail.

Are they Dendrobium microbulbon?

Requested to please ID.

Thanks and regards
Alka Khare

Please check Dendrobium turbinatum!
Thank you.

Thanks Saroj ji for feedback.

It seems D. microbulbon is a synonym of D. turbinatum.
Is it the same?


Regards

There is a big taxonomic issue recently about the identity of Dendrobium microbulbon and D. peguanum.
What I understand is this according to the new work would be Dendrobium turbinatum as it doesnt have leaves. Dendrobium microbulbon will have leaves, but I dont agree to this treatment. Presence or absence of leaves are not important characteristics.
Thanks and regards
Pankaj

Yes Gargji, I understand that completely.

I only meant, I would leave to you what we call it - D. turbinatum or D. microbulbon or D. peguanum.
No offence or doubt on Pankaj ji's feedback was ever meant.
I apologise, if any other meaning was ever thought possible.

Thanks and regards
Alka Khare
