ID Help needed...
A friend of mine sent me the attached pictures, asking whether I could help identifying this plant... I must admit my complete ignorance here 
Can anyone in OB help with the ID?
THANKS A LOT!!! |

Looks like an Australian Dendrobium. I'm not a big Dend guy, but that's my vote. It looks cool.

No, I don't think it's an Australian Dendrobium. This looks more liking bulbs than canes and the leaf structure/shape seems totally different to me?
Bump! Hope others chime in!

I would guess Coelogyne, but I can't say for certain.

The blooms resemble aussie dens, but the plant is all wrong like Nicole says. As for Coelogyne, the bloom structure of the mystery plant seems to be different from the usual Coelogyne structure.
I'm stumped with this one, but I'm searching on Orchidwiz for ideas.

Originally, I had thought of Epigeneium cymbidioides, but after carefully looking at the pictures, it was clear it is not the same...
The plant indeed has PBs intead of canes... I also thought of Diplocaulobium, but cannot find any similar to this plant...

I looked at Diplocaulobium now, but those seem to make only one bloom per spike, unlike yours. And the leaves are much different.
The blooms look so den like, especially like aussie dens, but it's the look of the plant that bothers me.

Hi Ramon -
My guess is Eria, perhaps javanica. Are the flowers scented of honey?
Cheers - Nancy

Could be an Eria like Nancy had said. But I don't think it's Eria javanica. It looks too small and the pseudobulbs are spaced to far apart from each other.
Does it have hairy roots?
