IDENTIFY DOCKRILLIA RIGIDA

 Dockrillia rigida is native to Australia and New Guinea. This orchid is very widespread and popular in New Guinea, where it usually grows in mangrove bushes in marshy coastal lowlands, at altitudes from sea level up to 700 m. In Australia it is found from the Russell River up to the tip of the Cape York Peninsula. It usually grows on mangrove swamps, but it can also be found on trees along the ravines and on rocks, on rubber trees (a variety of eucalyptus with hard bark) growing in low mountains and dry savannas, sometimes at a considerable distance from the coast.
