Dockrillia are [[epiphyte|ephiphytic]] or [[lithophytic]] plants, and found mainly along the east coast of [[Australia]].<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Dockrillia&#039;&#039; crosses readily with &#039;&#039;[[Dendrobium]]&#039;&#039; to make [[Dockrilobium]].<br /> <br /> Most &#039;&#039;Dockrillia&#039;&#039; plants are easily [[plant propagation|propagated]] by [[rhizome]] division.<br /> <br /> ==Selected Species==<br /> &#039;&#039;Dockrillia cucumerina&#039;&#039;, the cucumber orchid has leaves shaped like little cucumbers. <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Dockrillia linguiformis&#039;&#039; the tongue orchid - from Latin: &#039;&#039;lingua&#039;&#039; which means &#039;tongue&#039;, and &#039;&#039;formis&#039;&#039; which means &#039;shaped&#039;. The thick and leathery leaves grow from a creeping rhizone, either as an [[epiphyte]] or as a [[lithophyte]]. <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Dockrillia pugioniformis&#039;&#039;, 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.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Dockrillia teretifolia&#039;&#039;, the pencil orchid, from the shape of its leaves. It has a [[pendulous]] growth and is sometimes known as the bridal veil orchid.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Orchids of Australia]]<br /> [[Category:Orchid genera]]</div>
