History of the Genus • The genus Dendrobium (dendros = tree and bios = life) was established by the Swedish botanist Olaf Swartz in 1799 and contains the largest number of species (>1600 - Hawkes or ~900 - Bechtel) 2nd only to Bulbophyllum. • Type species - Dendrobium moniliforme. • The geographic distribution is from India through China, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, and the islands of the South Pacific, with the largest diversity in New Guinea. • In much of the orchid literature, the phrase ‘center of distribution’ is used frequently, indicating the possibility that the group originated there. • However, New Guinea arose on 16 million years ago, similarly Borneo, which is also rather recent geologically, well after Dendrobium precursors arose….
History - 2 • It appears that there has been a burst of Dendrobium species origination since this time, rapidly expanding into new niches. One example is the highland species with highly colored tubular flowers that are mostly bird pollinated. • There are frequently different color forms of one species from one mountain peak to another. • The three most popular theories remaining suggest origins either in India, Australia, or dual origin. • The most widespread species are Dendrobium anosmum, erosum, crumenatum, lobbi, stuartii, secundum, and macrophyllum, which variously occur all the way from India down to Australia. Most of these are lowland species.
