Dendrobium cerinum is a species of orchid that is endemic to the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It was first formally described in 1879 by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in The Gardeners' Chronicle.[1][2] The specific epithet cerinum is derived from the Ancient Greek word kerinos meaning "waxen", "wax-colored" or "yellowish".[3]
