Default Dendrobium Unknown species?

Wendy, sorry to be so slow responding. To me it looks like a hybrid from the
Dendrocoryne section of the Dendrobes - includes such species as adae, fleckeri,
gracilicaule, jonesii (aka ruppianum), kingianum, the speciosum complex, and the
tetragonum complex to name a few.

I would partially agree with Eric - I'm reasonably sure it has a lot of
tetragonum in it. But I think there are other things there as well, and I'm not
sufficiently knowledgeable to make any reliable guesses.

Perhaps some of the other Aussies - John, Reiner, Peter etc could add more?

There is a story to this one? (Geographical)
It bloomed last year for me, I posted a pic but did not get anything
close.
