Common Name The San Shin Epigeneium [Mountain In Taiwan]

Flower Size

Found in Taiwan as a warm to cool growing, miniature, mat forming epiphyte that blooms on a terminal, short, arcuate, single flowered inflorescence holding the flower just above the plant and occuring in the summer. This species is often cited as a synonym of E nakaharaei but there are many obvious visual differences so I will leave them separate at this time.

Synonyms *Dendrobium sanseiense Hayata 1916; Epigeneium sanseiense (Hayata) Nakaj. ?
