Naming
In 1839, the scented variety was first discovered by Lindley in the Philippines and named Dendrobium macrophyllum, which later on considered as homonym of other species. Six years later, the unscented variety was discovered again in the Philippines, hence, the botanical nomenclature until to this date.In the Philippines, it is locally known as ''Sanggumay'', a coined Tagalog term for ''masangsang'' and ''nakakaumay''. Other local term includes ''Latigo' referring to its long pendulous canes which became deciduous before flowering.
