Dendrobium excavatum (Blume) Miq. 1859

Dendrobium ini hidup di dataran menengah antara 600 - 1500 m di atas permukaan laut, tidak terlalu menyukai sinar matahari langsung, oleh sebab itu agak sulit memelihara jenis anggrek ini di daerah dataran rendah seperti Jakarta. Termasuk dalam Section Oxystophyllum, banyak terdapat di Cambodia, Malaysia, Borneo, Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, Moluccas, Sumatra dan New Guinea. Dendrobium yang di foto ini, saya dapatkan dari daerah Kalimantan. Ukuran bunganya cukup kecil hanya sekitar 2-3mm saja, sehingga cukup sulit untuk difoto.

Synonyms Aporum excavatum (Blume) Rauschert 1983; Callista excavata (Blume) Kuntze 1891; Dendrobium excavatum var buruense J.J.Sm. 1928; *Oxystophyllum excavatum Blume 1825

English Version :
This Dendrobium is living in the plain medium between 600 - 1500 m above sea level, not too fond of direct sunlight, therefore it is rather difficult to maintain this orchid in lowland areas such as Jakarta. Included in Section Oxystophyllum, is widely available in Cambodia, Malaysia, Borneo, Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, Moluccas, Sumatra and New Guinea. The Dendrobium is in this photo, I got from Borneo region. Flowers small enough size only about 2-3mm only, so it is quite difficult to be photographed.
