If it were of the DEN/Phal genus, why wouldn't it
say so on the tag? It just says Dendrobium hybrida.



There is even one site that specifically talks of a dendrobium x hybrida,
however I am suspicious that other websites don't mention this. A rare
Australian dendrobium?



"Hybrida" is simply a old way of saying something is a hybrid, perhaps
one of unknown parentage.

There are natural orchids "species" which are now understood to be wild
hybrids of unknown genetic makeup. They might correctly be described
as
--Dendrobium x hybrida--.
