Dendrobium officinale Kimura & Migo is an orchid native from southern China to northern Vietnam, southern Japan and Taiwan (Plants of the World Online, Kew). In Chinese it is 铁皮石斛.
Older literature and some trade documents use the name Dendrobium catenatum. World Flora Online accepts D. officinale and lists D. catenatum as one of its synonyms (World Flora Online). Our documents use Dendrobium officinale.
All orchids are listed in CITES Appendix II. Its annotation #4 exempts seeds, pollen, flasked seedlings, cut flowers of artificially propagated plants and a few named products, but not dried stems, powder or juice of Dendrobium (CITES Appendices, valid from 25 November 2023).
So each shipment of these products leaves China with a CITES export permit. Some destination countries also require an import permit; we check this with you before shipping.
Plants are attached to living trees and rock faces under the forest canopy and grown without greenhouses, close to the conditions the species grows in naturally. [EDIT: base location, area in mu or hectares, years in cultivation, tree species, inputs used or not used]
