White Konkan Dendrobium is a miniature to small sized, tree-dwelling orchid with greenish pseudobulbs, drooping, tapering at both ends, many noded, mostly scarious, curved to one side. It has for long been confused with Dendrobium crepidatum. However, it can be easily distinguished by its flowers which are pinkish white, about 2 cm across, without a yellow patch on the lip. The plant carries 3-8, distichous, stalkless, lanceshaped, pointed leaves which are entire, hairless, many nerved. The plant blooms in the spring arising from the nodes, on a short, single to rarely 2 flowered inflorescence. White Konkan Dendrobium is endemic to Western Ghats.
