| Note | Photos below are those of an orchid which was cultivated by Hiroshima Botanical Garden and displayed as Dendrobium gracilicaule. However, due to its yellow and non-spotted flower color, I think this orchid is really Dendrobium gracilicaule var. howeanum, and Dendrobium gracilicaule var. howeanum is a synonym of Dendrobium comptonii Rendle. See Howard P. Wood, The Dendrobiums, A.R.G. Gantner Verlag K.G., 2006, PA 517 and PA 518. |
| CITES check list volume II has suggested that Dendrobium drake-casttilloi Kränzlin (syn. Tropilis drake-castilloi (Kränzlin) Rauschert) is also a synonym of Dendrobium comptonii Rendle. |
