Dendrobium Swart

There are 7 species recorded from Sri Lanka out of which three species were observed during this study and identified as D. aphyllum (Syn: Limodorum aphyllum Roxb. , Dendrobium macrostachyum Lindl. ) (LC), D. nutantiflorum (Syn: Dendrobium nutans Lindl. ) (NT) and D. panduratum (NT) . Few specimens were observed in Ratnapura, Adam’s Peak, Kandy and Kithulgala suspected to be D. aphyllum . However, the identification of these specimens were not confirmed, due to unavailability of flowers.
