Very common. Often forming great mats that carpet their host rock (or cliff in one case).

Hi @michaelb, any chance you can merge this one with the synonymous Dockrillia striolatum, with Dockrillia being the correct name? Thanks

Hi Luke, we have a Dockrillia striolata. I can do that. Hi @MattM .. do you agree with Luke to merge Dendrobium striolatum into Dockrillia striolata?

Hi Michael, yes, a good list of current orchid taxonomy can also be found here: https://www.anbg.gov.au/cpbr/cd-keys/orchidkey/html/currentspecies.html . My understanding is that there are not many true Dendrobiums in Australia any more, most have been separated into other genera, such as these Dockrillia. Might be good to ask @Tapirlord as well.

Honestly I am never sure what orchid names are current an accepted. I am happy to use the name Dockrillia.

Agree with Dockrillia, what doesn’t make sense is having both of them

Yes I think they're both combined into this one now. I fixed up the other Dockrillias in our system as well to the best of my knowledge.
