Abstract :
Present paper deals the intraspecific colour variation in the population of Dendrobium anceps Sw. (Orchidaceae) from Kalimpong Sub-Division of Darjeeling district of West Bengal. Colour variation was observed in lateral sepals, dorsal sepals, lateral petals, lip and mentum foot and where instead light green colour, pinkish grey was observed. However, the minute colour variation is not the criteria to place it into a new species or variety. Thus, the variation observed in lip and mentum foot may be due to environmental influence.
