Dendrobium Section Aporum

Assalamu‘alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

Aporum, ada yang memasukkannya ke dalam salah satu seksi dari genus Dendrobium. Tetapi juga banyak ahli yang tetap mempertahankannya sebagai genus tersendiri/mandiri.

Secara pribadi, saya lebih menyukai sebagai genus karena akan lebih mudah dihafalkan dibandingkan bila bergabung dengan genus Dendrobium. Tetapi karena situs-situs anggrek besar lebih berpendapat sebagai seksi, maka saya pun mengikutinya hehe.

Section Aporum tidak bernilai ekonomi yang penting. Biasanya dijadikan bonus pembelian. Atau harganya super murah. Para hunter pun juga enggan membawanya karena g begitu laku. Hanya para kolektor dan juga peneliti yang tertarik.

Selain itu diameter kuntumnya yang super mungil juga akan menyulitkan untuk disilang atau dijadikan anggrek hibrid.

Secara general, section Aporum memiliki ciri khas yang hampir tak dipunyai anggrek lainnya, seperti:

• Pseudobulb kecil tertutup rapat oleh seludang daun
• Daun tebal, berdaging dan rapat bersusun membentuk seperti keris atau mata gergaji. Inilah karakteristiknya yang khas.
• Diameter kuntum super mungil (di bawah 1 cm), walau ada juga yang relatif besar
• Akar kecil-kecil dan sedikit. Permukaan berwarna kecoklatan.
• Ada jenis bunganya muncul dari ketiak daun, namun ada pula jenis bunganya muncul dari perpanjangan bulb/tangkai.
