Amongst orchid growers here in my home town there seems to be quite a few Dendrobium species that need sorting out as far as correct names go. Can any body point me in the right direction so that I can get some authoritative information on, as well as good clear photos of, the various species to enable me to sort them out. I am not a botanist and struggle to work my way through some dichotomous keys. A picture (to me) paints a thousand words. Some were imported way back in the 1970's fro T Orchids in Thailand. The flowers are all a golden/yellow colour and have various dark maroon bands/patches on the lip. Then names that are on the plants are : Dendrobium binoculare Dendrobium chrysanthum Dendrobium chryseum Dendrobium fimbriatum var occulatum Dendrobium gibsonii Thanks in advance for any help. Keep well and kind regards Mike South Africa
