Mystery plant—any ideas?

[greenhouseFrog]

Got another lot of plants from a friend thinning their herd—at first, I thought this one was some kind of Bulbophyllum!

Upon closer inspection, it seems like the pseudobulbs have “nodes” like a Catasetum or Dendrobium might have, so I’m second guessing my Bulbophyllum hunch.

I also got a Dendrobium lindleyi in this lot which led me to check out the Dendrobium jenkinsii—very similar!

What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance and happy holidays!

I would suspect Den lindleyi or jenkinsii or another from that group. Doesn't look like Bulbophyllum to me.

Thank you, Roberta! I’m glad I asked before treating it like a Bulbo, although I suspect these little nubs have some ways to go before I see flowers to further narrow down what they are—I hope they live!

If we're right and it's a Den, this time of year it needs some more neglect... I have had better success at blooming D. jenkinsii than lindleyi (aggregatum = aggravatum), I probably don't neglect the latter enough. You might just be surprised next spring! That group tends to bloom on "dead-looking" plants.
