Dendrobium Unknown species?
 

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

Wendy,

Looks like the Australian species Dendrobium tetragonum.

Dendrobium Unknown species?
 

Thanks Eric, I am getting "de ja vue" again, I think last year one of
the guys from down under came up with a hybrid name???
Maybe I should ask if any of them have this in bloom?

Thanks Roy, not sure where to find this one as I got a small kieki from my mentor,
as he did from a friend.
My geographical story goes like this:- A South African professor came to the USA &
he aquired the plant from a friend while visiting Australia. He gave my USA mentor a
keiki, & he in turn a keiki to me an ex S.African.

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?

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?

Agree with you and Dave, Wendy.

This is a hybrid - which one? I have no idea.

Cheers

Wendy, that's right. And I've never seen a tetragonum - real or photo - with
that sort of pink and pale apricot colouration over most of the floral parts. (I
never do remember the collective technical name for them all.)
