Distribution : Australia (Queensland) and New Guinea ; growing in rain forest or on the edges of rain forest often on species of Casuarina or on rocks. Two vaieties of this species ara known in Australia.
History : this species is commonly grown under the name D. fusiforme F.M. Bailey, but A.D. Hawkes pointed out that the name fusiforme had already been used and therefore could not be applied to this species. He gave it the name ruppianum in the AOR (1964), in honour of the Rev. R. Rupp who had done so much to increase our knowledge of australian orchids
Synonyms : dendrobium speciosum J.E. Smith var fusiforme F.M. Bailey; D. fusiforme F.M. Bailey
Closely related species : distinguished from D. speciosum by the broader mid lobe to the lip and stems which are swollen at the base"
Voilà, il te reste à la faire fleurir; je n'ai malheureusement ni photo ni crobard le concernant; la description de la plante elle même correspond assez, sauf pour les feuilles. Des variations sont toujours possibles, suivant d'une part l'origine de la plante et d'autre part son mode de culture
