Dendrobium carrii, commonly known as the furrowed moon orchid,[2] is an epiphytic orchid in the family Orchidaceae and has well-spaced pseudobulbs with one or two leaves, and flowering stems bearing between five and ten white or cream-coloured flowers with an orange or yellow labellum.
It mostly occurs on the ranges inland from Cape Tribulation and Innisfail in Queensland.
[2][3] Dendrobium carrii was first formally described in 1937 by Herman Rupp and Cyril Tenison White and the description was published in The Queensland Naturalist.
[4][5] The specific epithet (carrii) refers to a Mr. Tom Carr of Julatten, who first collected it.
[6][7] The furrowed moon orchid grows on the outer branches of rainforest trees that are often shrouded in mist at altitudes of between 900–1,600 m (3,000–5,000 ft) on the ranges inland from Cape Tribulation and Innisfail.
