DENDROBIUM SWARTZ SECTION HERBACEA KRAZLIN (ORCHIDACEAE)

摘要

Dendrobium Sw. Section Herbacea Kraenzl. is revived for two Asian species, Dendrobium herbaceum Lindl. and D. parcum Rchb.f. Definitive characters are branching, deciduous habit; short, few-flowered racemes arising from the branches, often apparentlyterminal; and small simple flowers with decurved saccate mentum. The type species is D. herbaceum. There appears to be a third, unidentified, species.
