In October 1952, a specimen received from Sri Jackson of Travancore Tea Estates, Vandiperiyar (P. O.) was identified in the Madras Herbarium as Dendrobium aqueum Lindle. This is an epiphytic orchid commonly found in Western Ghats at elevations ranging from 3,000 to 7,000 ft. The specimen was left in a brown paper cover for incorporation later on. On 15th of April, 1953, when the specimens were sorted out for poisoning and preservation, the stem of Dendrobium aqueum Lindle was noted to have a bud development to over 3 mm. in length (vide photograph). On careful examination, it was noted to have another similar but smaller bud development.
