You are very unlikely to be able to tell if it is Dtps or Phal just by

its great,great,great,great...who knows how many greats, grandparent.
Once you put Doritis into the ancestry, it stays.

Didn't someone recently note that the Doritis that was the parent
of most registered Doritaenopsis was a Phal and writted down wrong
in the registry?
