Unknown Dendrobium??

[Undergrounder]

Are both of those photos of the same plant?

Don't want to confuse things, but there's so much complexity over the exact naming of these things... As far as i understand it, Den superbbum (inc. var compactum) should have a white mark on the labellum as its distinguishing feature. Without a white mark its far more likely to be Den phalaenopsis. Its rare to actually get the correct photo on the net.

That said, the second photo definitely looks like a Den phalaenopsis but the first photo looks different. The labellum looks far more pronounced, like a hybrid. I would call it a Den phalaenopsis hybrid.

Actually i would call it a Vappodes phalaenopsis hybrid now. We gotta get used to name changed some time i guess?

I'm no expert, this thread just gave me a great excuse to dust off my 'Native Orchids of Australia'. Its the latest edition so i think it should be right.
