    One interesting thing is that there is no anther cap. So you see two dark pollinia masses, “naked”. There are one or two other Dendrobes in the same section which do this too.
    I like to quiz professional botanists about this, because they tend to say that slipper orchids (paphs etc.) are so different from all other orchids, because they ( paphs) have naked pollinia. I say, but what about Dendrobiums, e.g. hercoglossum..... it does bring them down a peg or two, when theyhaveto admit they either do’t know this species, or have never noticed !
