Abstract: ‘GFRI White Snake’is a new Dendrobium cultivar derived from an artificial cross between D.‘Nopporn Pink’as the female parent and D. parishii as the male parent. The plant is of medium size with erect pseudobulbs. Each pseudobulb produces one inflorescence bearing 3-6 flowers. The flower has a horizontal diameter of 5.7-6.3 cm and a vertical diameter of 4.0-4.2 cm. Both petals and sepals are white. The lip is white,nearly triangular in shape,with a purplish-red eye spot. The flowers are distinctive and fragrant,exhibiting a long blooming period. Individual flowers last for 20-25 days,while the whole plant remains in flower for 75-90 days. This cultivar shows strong cold resistance and adaptability,making it suitable for cultivation in greenhouses or simple plastic shelters in South China.
