In a public poll for the most popular choice as floral emblem, 10, entries were submitted and according to the organiser 'the Cooktown Orchid, Queensland's own world-famous hybrid [sic] orchid came out thousands ahead in the count of votes'.
Grevillea banksii was second, and third was Euphorbia pulcherrima , Poinsettia, a Mexican species already used as the floral emblem of the capital city, Brisbane. On 19 November the Cooktown Orchid, under the botanical name of Dendrobium bigibbum var phalaenopsis, was proclaimed as the floral emblem of Queensland Act. It conformed with the Government's criteria in being an easily cultivated native species confined to Queensland, decorative and distinctive in appearance, and coloured close to the State colour, maroon.
The correct botanical name for the Cooktown Orchid has, however, been the subject of continuing speculation and debate. Plants of Dendrobium bigibbum were first collected by a Dr Thomson on Mount Adolphus, a small island about 18 km north-east of Cape York. These plants were sent to a nursery in London, and in the species was described and named by the British botanist, John Lindley It does not occur near Cooktown.
In his description he included the words "It was obtained near Cooktown, Queensland". In December of the same year he published a beautiful colour plate of Dendrobium phalaenopsis in 'Australian Orchids' with the words "obtained in northern Queensland", which clearly illustrates the plant people now know as the Cooktown Orchid.
The generic name Dendrobium is derived from the Greek 'dendron', meaning 'tree', and 'bios', meaning 'life'; plants of many species of this genus perch on tree trunks and branches. The specific name phalaenopsis from the Greek ' phalaina ', meaning 'moth', due to the flower's resemblance to a moth. Dendrobium is a very large genus of more than species in south and east Asia and in the south-west Pacific.
