Dendrobium aemulum, known as the Ironbark Orchid or White Feather Orchid is a small orchid found in eastern Australia and in New Caledonia. The habitat is in coastal districts; on rocks, rainforest trees and Ironbark eucalyptus trees. Flowers are attractive and of appeal to orchid growers. These orchids give a pleasant scent. The scent is apparently an attractant to moths who assist in pollination. The species first appeared in scientific literature in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae in 1810, authored by Robert Brown.
