Thank you Gargji and Dr.Pankaj Kumar, I came across the following paper ' A review of the orchid diversity of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India - Karthigeyan *et al. *it confirms in Fig. 10 (D) as Dendrobium polyanthum.
I had come across this on a broken dead branch on the forest path so I decided to carry it back with me to Mumbai. After a week I was surprised to see it sprouting buds! These flowered and now there are 2 flowers. I noticed that on blooming the Labellum was white with a few maroon streaks, after a couple of days the white developed into a lovely pale yellow glow in the centre. Thanx fr your help. I will be posting a few more pics of other flora I have shot very soon.
