Dendrobium reconditum, commonly known as the closed burr orchid,[2] is an epiphytic orchid in the family Orchidaceae and is endemic to Moa Island in the Torres Strait. It has a single thin leaf on a thin stem and a small white, more or less spherical flower that does not open. It grows on rough-barked trees in rainforest.
Dendrobium reconditum is an epiphytic herb that usually forms small clumps. It has a flattened stem, 40–70 mm (2–3 in) long and about 1 mm (0.04 in) wide with a single thin, dark green leaf 30–70 mm (1.2–2.8 in) long and 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) wide. There is a single, more or less spherical white flower about 3 mm (0.12 in) in diameter with fleshy tubercles about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide on the ovary. Flowering occurs between January and July but the flower does not open.[2][3][4]
The closed burr orchid was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones and Mark Clements from a specimen collected on Moa Peak on the northern end of Moa Island. It was given the name Cadetia clausa and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[5] In 2011, André Schuiteman and Peter Adams changed the name to Dendrobium reconditum, referring to studies of molecular phylogenetics.[6][7] The specific epithet (reconditum) is a Latin word meaning "hidden" or "concealed",[8] referring to the cleistogamous flowers.[7]
The closed burr orchid grows on rough-barked trees in rainforest on low hills and is only known from Moa Island.[2][4]
