Latouria Dendrobiums
PJ Cribb’s November 1982 treatment of the Latouria section of Dendrobium genus in A revision of Dendrobium sect. Latouria (Orchidaceae) considered 48 species of Dendrobium sect. Latouria. Various authors recognise between 48 and 78 species in the Latouria section of Dendrobium. The species and varieties of the Dendrobium macrophyllum complex remain the subject of on going taxonomic studies and articles.
Of these species three are not natural to the Australasian Native Orchid Society accepted region. These being Dendrobium laurensii (Moluccas, Halmaheira only), Dendrobium setigerum ( Philippines: Luzon only) and Dendrobium violascens (Moluccass, Ternate only).
Forty-five of these species grow on the island of New Guinea from sea level to the montane forests. Most are epiphytes but some (especially those from the montane forests) are terrestrials growing on sphagnum and in marshy ground. The majority of species in cultivation or used in hybridising grow from sea level to 1950 m and usually from areas of year-round rainfall.
