Dendrobium atavus confirmed to be Dendrobium fimbriatum
Dendrobium atavusJ.J.Sm., Orch. Java: 353 (1905).This name is accepted.
award #20133461. GLJC
Dendrobium atavus , award #20133461, has been confirmed to be Dendrobiumfimbriatum by SITF (March
2013).
this is obviously D. fimbriatum. D. atavus is different, the type of it (an illustration, in Johannes Jacobus Smith (J. J. Smith) 1908, Die Orchideen von Java, Figurenatlas, plate 81) showing a different lip and style. However, J. B. Comber στο Orchids of Java, 1990, publ. Bentham-Moxon Trust mentions that D. atavus may just be a pelori form of D. fimbriatum. Still the name D. fimbriatum is valid, as published some 80 years before D. atavus.
