Abstract

Dendrobium eruciforme Schuit., Saputra & Wanma (Orchidaceae), the fourth known species of sect. Microphytanthe Schltr., is described and illustrated. A detailed description, morphological comparisons, habitat information, a preliminary conservation assessment and some notes are provided. A key to the four species of sect. Microphytanthe is presented. Vegetatively, D. eruciforme is one of the smallest Dendrobium species, in this respect only equalled or even surpassed by the Australian D. toressae (F.M.Bailey) Dockrill.
