    Dendrobium bigibbum

    Comments:

    (previously identified as Dendrobium phalaenopsis)

    Identified originally by Larry Kipp - Lawrence, KS USA and confirmed by Kalan Toy - San Jose, CA USA

    Matthew Renner, member of the Australasian Native Orchid Society of New Zealand, comments:

    Den. phalaenopsis is now regarded as conspecific with Den. bigibbum.

    This looks to me to be a hybrid, Den. Peewee, which is a cross between Den. biggibum and Den. tetragonum. It has thinner lateral petals and a pointed labellum? (I can't quite tell for sure from the photo)
