I spoke to Andy on the phone. He said this is a brand new species. Apparently its chief distinction is the flowers being upside down, which looks awfully silly on a Dendrobium. I wonder how it gets pollinated. Eric Christianson is working on the taxonomy. I think I will give it the clone name 'Meishe Kapayer.' It means Moses Upside Down, & I believe it was the character in an old Yiddish comic strip. Andy said this species is very tough & should do fine mounted in my conditions. Iris
