Dendrobium milaniae (Dr. Paciencia Milan's Dendrobium) is flower of the Orchid family found in Leyte, Visayas in the Philippines,[2] where it is found growing as an epiphyte above bodies of water at elevations up to 600 metres.[3] The flower grows to approximately 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in). The plant is semi-pendulous and sympodial. Pseudobulbs are 10 cm by 2 cm; 3 to 6 green lanceolate leaves are present on the top third of the pseudobulb.[4] Hans Fessel and Emil Lückel named this species in 1996 in Die Orchidee.[4]
