Help needed identifying a wrongly labelled orchid

[kavanaru]

This plant was sold to me as Nanodes porpax several months ago, but now that it finally bloomed it is obvious there is a mistake in the label... The plant indeed look like Nanodes porpax, but the flower is completelly different...

Flower is 1.2 cm (0.6") and the plant has no pseudobulbs but a continuosly growing stem.

Any ideas?


P.S.- I have contacted the nursery (which is normally quite serious and good in labelling), and the reply was: "hhm... weird how this could have happened, but it really looks like Dendrobium lodigesii..." (and I am quite sure it is NOT dendrobium lodigesii!!! I replied to that e-mail asking if they had ever seen a Dendrobium lodigesii)

Wow Ramón. I hope you find the right name for this little beauty. BUENA SUERTE.

It DOES look kind of like D. lodigesii. Sorry, not much help.

I am inclined to agree that it is Den.loddigesii. If you check the first photo on ISOPE you will see the similarity the only thing I cant identify on that photo is the sssnnnaakkee on top of the cork mount. Must admit it is quite colourful - snake that is ha ha ha

This is definitely not Dendrobium loddigesii which has similar coloration but a fimbriated margin to the lip.

The foliage does look like Nanodes or whatever they are calling it these days. That would put it in the Laelianae, closely allied to Epidendrum and not in Dendrobium.

As I said before, and agreeing with Phantasm, definitely NOT Dendrobium loddigesii... The plant looks exactly like Nanodes porpax (no canes!!), and I think that is why they mixed up the labels here. The flower is indeed completely diferent... Searching in google has not helped at all...
