[[Image:Dockrillia_teretifolia.jpg|thumb|left|Dockrillia teretifolia]]All [[terete]] leaved ''[[Dendrobium]]'' [[species]] from Australia and Papua New Guinea have been moved into a newly created [[genus]], '''''Dockrillia''''', named after Alick Dockrill, a contemporary [[Australian]] [[orchidologist]]. Dockrillia are [[epiphyte|ephiphytic]] or [[lithophytic]] plants, and found mainly along the east coast of [[Australia]].<br />
<br />
''Dockrillia'' crosses readily with ''[[Dendrobium]]'' to make [[Dockrilobium]].<br />
<br />
Most ''Dockrillia'' plants are easily [[plant propagation|propagated]] by [[rhizome]] division.<br />
<br />
==Selected Species==<br />
''Dockrillia cucumerina'', the cucumber orchid has leaves shaped like little cucumbers. <br />
<br />
''Dockrillia linguiformis'' the tongue orchid - from Latin: ''lingua'' which means 'tongue', and ''formis'' which means 'shaped'. The thick and leathery leaves grow from a creeping rhizone, either as an [[epiphyte]] or as a [[lithophyte]]. <br />
<br />
''Dockrillia pugioniformis'', the dagger orchid, from the shape of its leaves. Plants can grow to very large specimens, often completely covering a large branch of a large tree.<br />
<br />
''Dockrillia teretifolia'', the pencil orchid, from the shape of its leaves. It has a [[pendulous]] growth and is sometimes known as the bridal veil orchid.<br />
