Dendrobium aberrans is a small orchid from Papua New Guinea. This sympodial orchid has mainly green, shiny, stalked pseudobulbs that are growing relatively close together. On the apical side of each pseudobulb, two to three lanceolate, leathery leaves are produced. Close to the leaves, at the topside of the pseudobulbs, a flower stalk could be formed that could carry 2 to 6 flowers. The pendant flowers are around 1.5 cm long and bright white. Due to a characteristic formation of the labellum, the flower gives the impression that it consists of 8 tepals, which is never the case with orchids. The inner part of the labellum holds a subtle pink coloration. This species flowers over longer periods of time; from spring to autumn new flower stalks could emerge.
