Default Dendrobium Unknown species?

Thanks for your input anyway Dave, so it seems like it is a hybrid,
not a species.
The Den. tetragonum pics I have looked at are different. the petals & sepals
are way skinnier & more spikey no?

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.
