OK lets agree to disagree :) If a plant is able to set fruits with viable seeds and the new plants that emerge from seeds are identical to the parents, then it should be considered as a distinct species. I can see fruits, but I dont know if the seeds are viable and if viable, do they give rise to similar plants? if yes then this is Dendrobium lawianum and not Dendrobium crepidatum. Best regards Pankaj
