Dendrobium aemulum
Also called Ironbark Feather Orchid
Dendrobium aemulum, commonly known as ironbark feather orchid or white feather orchid, is an epiphytic orchid in the family Orchidaceae and grows on trees that retain their bark, especially ironbarks. It has reddish or purplish pseudobulbs, two to four leathery leaves and up to seven white, feathery flowers. It grows in open forest in Queensland and New South Wales.
The ironbark feather orchid grows on trees that do not lose their bark, including ironbarks, brush box (Lophostemon confertus) and cypress pine (Callitris species). It is found between the Calliope Range near Gladstone in Queensland and Moruya in New South Wales growing in open forest from the coast to nearby tablelands.
