I changed the names at this last minute during posting looking at the full confidence of The Plants List. Nice to see Orchids on Kathal Tree also. Kathal is infact a very good host for epiphytic orchids. Yes they are two separate entities. I dont follow the Kew checklist for this particular species.

TSP-OCT2016-02-439:Images of Dendrobium lawianum (Orchidaceae) : 7 posts by 4 authors. Presenting few images of Dendrobium lawianum (Orchidaceae) The following sites consider D.lawianum as a synonym of D.crepidatum Ref-1: http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-58205 Ref-2: Flowers of India BUT The Digital Flora of Karnataka considers D.lawianum to be distinct from D.crepidatum and describes them separately. Ref-3: Flora of Karnataka 1 Ref-4: Flora of Karnataka 2 As per the description of D.lawianum, the flowers are white, with a tinge of pink, lip oblong, white and glabrous with two red spots at the base of the column. The uploaded images answer the description. Habit:Herb Habitat:Epiphytic,Semi-evergreen forest fringe. Sighting:Near Sakaleshpur,Karnataka,about 1100 msl Date:28-03-2016 Very nice.
