Aporum rosellum (Ridl.) Rauschert. first time described by Henry Nicholas Ridley on trunk of a fallen tree from Selabat (Haviland cult. in. horto bot. Singapore), Sarawak, northern Borneo, Malaysia. Published as Dendrobium rosellum Ridl. in Journal of the Linnean Society. Botany. London volume 31 page 268 published in year 1896.
Ridley said :
I have had this species in cultivation for a considerable time, labelled Singapore ; but, except in one other garden, I have not found it growing anywhere in the Peninsula. In the dry state it much resembles Dendrobium Serra, Lindl (Aporum serra Lindl.), and has probably been passed over for that species. But the latter has the flowers always white, much smaller, and the terminal lobe of the lip, which is Dendrobium rosellun (Aporum rosellum (Ridl.) Rauschert) is broad and rounded, broader than the rest of the lamina, in Dendrobium serra Lindl. (Aporum serra Lindl.), is represented by the two short, narrow, parallel lobules.
