    Dendrochilum glumaceum is commonly referred to as the Hay-scented Orchid. This description is incorrect, however, because the pendant blooms are strongly Anise scented.
    If you are looking for a truly Hay-scented Orchid, Dendrochilum magnum will fit the bill. Smelling the pretty blooms, you will think you are standing in a sunny meadow right after the grass has been cut.
