dendrochilum identification
 

:hello

two years ago I bought this little cutie as a dendrochilum formosanum. The vendor told me that it was a formosanum with green-cream flowers.
It flowers easily,every year in this period, but I'm not sure it's a formosanum.
Actually, I saw that formosanum has two brown lines on the lip, while mine not.

Can you help me with the identification of my dendrochilum?

(If it could help: It has a very strong scent. Sometimes it almost stinks)

Put dendrochilum formosanum into a Google image search.
While most shown are yellowish colored, some are white, in particular the pics from Andy's and kevin Daws.
The flower shapes and size seem to be similar.

Even species orchids can show a lot of variability.
I'm inclined to think that it is probably correctly named.

I have run into where IOSPE photos disagree with an ID I've had made by a taxonomist.
That would be the only way to be certain.
But, it is a lot of trouble, to locate someone qualified, preserve a flower, and mail it off to them, then wait for your answer.

I saw that one from Andy's too ☺️. I think you're right: every image of this dendroch. I found on Google is different from the others. Probably there are very relevant differences between the same species, just, I didn't expected so many. Thank you voyager.
