    Default Dockrilla Jiggy

    Last year I bought a seedling of Dockrilla Jiggy. The leaves look a bit like a Dendrobium striolatum. It hasn't been in flower yet. On the internet I can't find anything about it.

    Does anybody here knows what it can be?

    The correct spelling is Dockrillia Jiggi (schoeninum x teretifolium). Kew considers Dockrillia to be a syonym for Dendrobium, so the registered name is Dendrobium Jiggi.

    Alright!!! Thanks Michael. I have been strugling with this name for a year now. And within 9 minites you solved it. Is it a primary cross which occur in nature, or is it man made and not possible to cross because of geographic separation?
