A distinctive group of sympodial, mostly epiphytic, tropical orchids within the large and diverse genus Dendrobium, section Spatulata species are characterized by their spirally twisted floral segments and asymmetrical flowers. They are commonly known as âantelope orchidsâ. The majority are vigorous, robust, tall-growing plants which require warm, tropical conditions, and copious feeding and watering during the growing season. The generally erect inflorescences are produced from nodes on the upper portion of the cane-like pseudobulb, and in some species carry up to 50 flowers.
