24052010VAI1 – Orchid for ID: Location: Makunda Christian Hospital campus, Karimganj District, Assam Date: 24th May 2010

This orchid flowers once a year and lives on a tree just opposite my home – request ID help.

This is not taken from correct angel. Please share front views and views of stem and leaf. If I had to guess I would go for Dendrobium moschatum. but thats tentative,,,,

Dendrobiums do display deformity one of which is not opening completely. I will just need to see the lip, if any is present there for that I need to have a front view. Please also check the leaves and internode. Show me a picture of the tip of the leaf.

I have attached 2 more photos of the same orchid taken in June this year. Hope this information is sufficient.
