Talk:Dendrobium

message: I think Onychium shouldn't redirect here--it's a genus of ferns. 70.210.206.11 (talk) 23:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you're right. Onychium Blume is a synonym of Dendrobium, but Onychium Kaulf. is a current fern genus. Onychium certainly should be kept available for the latter. Redirect deleted. Hesperian 23:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  A topic of.... 

message: 1. Not all Dendrobiums grow quickly in the summer and rest in the winter. There are over 1000 species of Dendrobiums, it is hard to generalise.
2. In the list of selected species, the "common names" are incorrectly derived from the botanical names.
3. What is the benefit of the list of selected species? I think this section should be removed or perhaps replaced with a SHORT list of selected species that have interesting characteristics, for example, Dendrobium cucumerimum, the cucumber orchid, with leaves that look like little cucumbers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dennis cs chuah (talk • contribs) 12:30, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with (2) and (3). I propose to update the List of Dendrobium species and remove the red-linked species from the Selected species list. The common names should be treated as redirects (as many already are). Gderrin (talk) 11:49, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  A few Issues 

message: Dendrobium is a very large genus and several authors, notably David Jones and Mark Clements have proposed spitting it into smaller genera. Few (none?) of these proposals have been accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families and as at January 2019 all are listed as synonyms of Dendrobium. Redirects for most were created in about 2008 but Dockrillia, Epigeneium, Winika and Vappodes remain. (Dendrobates D.L.Jones & M.A.Clem. is also the name of a frog genus.)
I propose to merge the contents of the articles on Dockrillia, Epigeneium, Winika and Vappodes with Dendrobium. Gderrin (talk) 01:47, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Orchids seem prone to splits that aren't later accepted; we should be err on the side of not splitting. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:58, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge 

message: Anyone know what's up with Draft:Dockrillia and Draft:Dendrobium?  Should they be deleted/merged? --Nessie (talk) 19:35, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: They should be deleted. I created them in a clumsy attempt to do a round-robin move. Any help with doing this would be appreciated by me. Gderrin (talk) 20:52, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , why have  and  been moved to the draft spaces and overwritten with Dendrobium articles? Primefac (talk) 21:44, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

text: I'm still trying to tease apart all of your moves. If you wouldn't mind telling me exactly what you moved where (and in what order), it will help me declutter this. Primefac (talk) 21:54, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
