Dendrobium cerinum explained

Dendrobium cerinum is a species of orchid that is endemic to the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It was first formally described in 1879 by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in The Gardeners' Chronicle.[1] The specific epithet cerinum is derived from the Ancient Greek word meaning "waxen", "wax-colored" or "yellowish".[2]
