Dipodium pictum, commonly known as brittle climbing-orchid or climbing hyacinth-orchid,[4] is an orchid species that is native to Malesia (including Indonesia and New Guinea) and the Cape York Peninsula in Australia.

[5] The species was formally described in 1849 in The Journal of the Horticultural Society of London by English botanist John Lindley who gave it the name Wailesia picta.

[7] The type specimen for Dipodum pandanum was collected near Samarai in Papua New Guinea.

[5] In Australia it is found within or on the edge of rainforest, often near watercourses, at altitudes ranging from 200 to 400 metres.

Only four specimens have been recorded in Australia; from Kutini-Payamu National Park and a timber reserve in the McIlwraith Range on the Cape York Peninsula.
