    It looks like a species of Dendrobium but I am not sure which one. Posted 8 years ago

      Thanks, WildFlower.
      I think there are more than a thousand species under the genus of Dendrobium, can be difficult to ID.
      Something similar to Dendrobium discolor, which is reported in New Guinea and Indonesia.       Posted 8 years ago

        This is one of the species I was considering too, another similar one is Dendrobium lasianthera, there may be more in the section Spatulata.
