Description

Oberonia brachystachys 5.5cm

Name: Oberonia brachystachys Lindl.

Synonyms: Oberonia recurva Lindl.; Iridorkis brachystachya (Lindl.) Kuntze

Etymology: The genus name Oberonia was derived from Oberon, the king of the fairies in European literature; brachystachys means “short-spiked” and refers to the inflorescence.

First described: 1838 by John Lindley in Sertum Orchidaceum.

Origin/distribution: From the Indian subcontinent across the eastern Himalayas and Myanmar to Thailand and the Malay Peninsula.

Location/habitat: Miniature epiphytic orchid of moist tropical forests. Grow in bright to partial shade with high humidity and good air circulation. A fine, airy medium or a mounted culture is well suited. Keep at intermediate to warm temperatures of around 16–27 °C.

Description and notes: Oberonia brachystachys forms small, fan-shaped shoots with flat, sword-shaped leaves. The short to moderately long inflorescences bear numerous tiny, densely packed flowers. Moisten the fine roots regularly, then ventilate well, and do not let them dry out completely or keep them constantly wet.
