Dendrobium canaliculatum
The flowering within the species is extremely variable bearing from 2 - 4 flowers per raceme in the smaller plants to 40+ flowers per raceme in larger plants. Colours are also variable.
It is mainly a plant of tropical Queensland (found also in tropical NT and WA) from Rockhampton in the south to the tip of Cape York. It grows almost exclusively on paperbark trees hence the common name of Tea-Tree Orchid.
