Dendrobium utile is a species of orchid native to Sulawesi and Papua, occurring in forests at altitudes of up to 150 m.[1] It is the official flower of Sulawesi Tenggara.[2] Locally in Sulawesi this orchid is also called anomi, anemi or alemi, toya in mee language,[3] or anggrek serat (fiber orchid) in common Indonesian for its fiber-rich root.[4]
Description
Dendrobium utile is an epiphyte.[1] It is distinguished from similar orchids by the root shaped like a bird nest with green-yellowish colors. The flowers grow in the leaf axils. The petals are yellow, with a narrow shape. The plants make attractive decorations, but are short-lived. The roots are used to make expensive handcrafts because of its soft texture and shiny and golden color.
