Sorry if this is a naive question.

None of my references even use the terms hard & soft cane dendrobes,
& they certainly don't define them. I know what I *think* people
mean. But I'm not certain.

Soft cane dendrobes: I've mostly heard the term in relation to
plants of the D. nobile growth habit. Is that all? Does it also
include all of Section Dendrobium? Does it also include other
sections?

Hard cane dendrobes: Usually heard in relation to Section
Phalaenanthe. Does it also include Secton Spatulata which readily
hybridises with the Phalaenanthe species? Any other sections
included?

Clarification welcomed please.
