Distribution and habitat
The primary habitat of Dendrobium hekouense is evergreen forests located in subtropical highlands. These forests are covered with dense fog between April and October as a result of monsoon weather.[1]
It was first described in Yunnan, China and has also been found in Northern Vietnam.[2]
Characteristics
Dendrobium hekouense forms a single-flower inflorescence that arises from a leafless pseudobulb. [1]
In its natural habitat this orchid flowers between August and September, during a period that coincides with annual rain. It is typically found on the ground-facing side of tree trunks, in a position that prevents rainwater from falling into the flower. [1]
