''Dendrobium aemulum'', known as the Ironbark Orchid or White Feather Orchid is a small orchid found in eastern Australia and in New Caledonia.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 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.〔Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney, ISBN 978-0-7318-1211-0 page 261〕 The species first appeared in scientific literature in ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae'' in 1810, authored by Robert Brown. ==Varieties== Two varieties are recognized:〔 *''Dendrobium aemulum'' var.
