This spectacular tropical epiphytic orchid has recently been separated into a new Genus along with D. mirbelianum (Mangrove Orchid), previously both were included with Dendrobium. It must surely rank as the longest-caned Orchid, with the flowers pictured on a cane over 2 metres in length.
Unfortunately many Durobaculum nindii have been “saved” by avid Orchid lovers not content with seeing a plant in its natural state. At Wild Wings & Swampy Things finding a flowering native orchid which has naturally established itself is one of the rewards we enjoy as areas of revegetation mature.
