terete leaved
Dendrobium species from Australia and Papua New Guinea have been moved into a newly created
genus,
Dockrillia, named after Alick Dockrill, a contemporary
Australian orchidologist. Dockrillia are
ephiphytic or
lithophytic plants, and found mainly along the east coast of
Australia.
Dockrillia crosses readily with Dendrobium to make Dockrilobium.
Most Dockrillia plants are easily propagated by rhizome division.
Selected Species
Dockrillia cucumerina, the cucumber orchid has leaves shaped like little cucumbers.
Dockrillia linguiformis the tongue orchid - from Latin: lingua which means 'tongue', and formis which means 'shaped'. The thick and leathery leaves grow from a creeping rhizone, either as an epiphyte or as a lithophyte.
Dockrillia pugioniformis, the dagger orchid, from the shape of its leaves. Plants can grow to very large specimens, often completely covering a large branch of a large tree.
Dockrillia teretifolia, the pencil orchid, from the shape of its leaves. It has a pendulous growth and is sometimes known as the bridal veil orchid.
