Dendrobium chryseum is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae. It is native to the Himalayas, mainland South East Asia, south-central China, and Taiwan.[1] It is one of over 1,600 species in the genus Dendrobium.[2]
An epiphyte with yellow flowers, it grows on tree trunks in broadleaf forests at elevations from 1,700 to 2,600 m (5,600 to 8,500 ft).[3] It is considered sacred by the Tsou people of the mountains of Taiwan, who use it to decorate the roofs of their men's traditional meeting houses.[4][5]
