Kimilsungia is a hybrid orchid of the genus "Dendrobium". It is a clone of a plant that was created in Indonesia by orchid breeder Carl Ludwig C. L. Bundt, who in 1964 registered the grex name "Dendrobium" Clara Bundt for all orchids of the same ancestry, naming it after his daughter. It has a complex ancestry from cultivated orchids. An attempt was made to register the grex name "Dendrobium" Kimilsungia, but this is not valid, it is a later synonym of "Dendrobium" Clara Bundt. As a cultivar name (applying to only part of the grex), the correct name is "Dendrobium" Clara Bundt 'Kimilsungia'. Another grex name "Dendrobium" Kimilsung Flower refers to plants of related but different ancestry.
