Respected Neil Sir You might have to check the number of anthers. This could be Eria nana too now called as Conchidium nanum. For Dendrobium nanum it should have 2 pollinia and for Conchidium nanum it should have 8, joined together with viscidium. This is not the time for Dendrobium peguanum to flower unless it flowered abruptly. Pankaj
