Williams - 1973 - black & white drawing - page 352

Dendrobium nobile var. cooksonianum - A Manual of Orchidaceous Plants
- Vol. I - James Veitch & Son - 1894 - black & white drawing - page
64

Dendrobium nobile var. cooksonianum - Dendrobiums-an intro. to the
species in cultivat'n - Schelpe & Stewart - 1990 - Colour photo - page
24

Dendrobium var. cooksonianum - A Manual of Orchidaceous Plants - Vol.

Try http://www.orchidspeciessoc.gil.com.au/orchids.htm#D there is a
photo of the species there. A good general starting point is
http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~nepean/links.htm, or Jay's Orchid
Encyclopedia page at http://www.orchidspecies.com/index.htm (this
last might not have varieties).

Cordially, Phil
