Dendrobium angulatum Lindl. 1830 SECTION Crumenata

Common Name The Sharp Cornered Dendrobium [refers to the flower shape]

Flower Size .88" [2.2 cm]

Found in Assam, Bangladesh, Myanmar, southwestern Thailand and Vietnam at 23 to 900 meters in elevation as a small to medium sized, hot to warm growing epiphyte with slender stems that are slightly swollen 1.5" [4 cm] above the base carrying 3 to 12, linear to oblong, widely spaced leaves that blooms in the spring on a very short, from the upper nodes, single flowered inflorescence.

Water freely while growing but slack off as canes mature in the late summer and fall, as well as hit with a high phosphate fertilizer in the late summer and fall to increase budding. Best to slack off all fertilizer from Christmas until new growths appear in the spring when a high nitrogen fertilizer can be resumed.

This species is often refered to as Dendrobium podagria but the true name is D angulata as it was described by Lindley first in 1830.
