Found as a small sized, warm to cool growing terrestrial occuring in Java and Borneo in hill and montane forests in fine-grained volcanic rock, boulder strewn slopes and in boulder crevasses in deep shade at elevations of 750 to 1900 meters with narrrowly elliptic or elliptic oblong, pale and dark green mottled, minutely bilobed apically leaves that blooms in the summer and fall on a mottled pale green and crimson, erect, single flowered [rarely 2], to 12″ [to 30 cm] long inflorescence with an elliptic, pale green spotted purple floral bract that has ciliate margins and midvein.

Any open mix will do in a pot if given warm to cool temperatures, high humidity and moderate shade. Likes to be cramped in it’s pot, so keep the pot small.

Dendrobium nudum (Blume) Lindl. 1830 SECTION Calcarifera J.J.Sm

Found in Java and Sumatra at elevations of 1200 to 2000 meters in dry and wet forests but always in the shade as a medium sized, cool growing epiphyte with basally slender, nodding, clustered stems carrying 5, linear-lanceolate leaves that gradually decrease in size towards the apex and have dark speckled leaf sheaths that blooms on a short, few [2 to 4] flowered inflorescence with simultaneously opening flowers arising from the nodes near the apex of the leafless cane occuring in the spring.

Allow plants to dry out between waterings and also reduce fertilizer in the winter until new growth emerges in the spring.

Found in central and eastern Java as a large sized, hot growing epiphyte, lithophyte or terrrestrial with long, erect stems carrying curved, ligulate, imbricate, unequally bilobed apically leaves that blooms on an axillary, erect to suberect, 2 to 3″ [5 to 7 cm] long, shorter than the leaves, 15 or more flowered inflorescence with large, fragrant, waxy, long-lived, color variable flowers occuring in the fall and winter. V suavis, which hails from central and eastern Java has an inflorescence with 15 or more flowers, narrower and longer sepals and petals and the apical lobules of the lip are turned abruptly downwards and are paler than the rest of the midlobe. Then there is the similar Vanda tricolor from west Java which has an inflorescence with 6 to 9 flowers, the sepals and petals being different in width and are shorter, the side lobules being erect, and they and the midlobe are evenly colored.
