Greetings -
This division was among some given to me a couple of
years ago. I did not write down the name, because I
was sure I'd remember. Well, my memory said Dendrobium
parishii, which it surely is not. When it turned out
to be *not* deciduous (even though I water-starved it
in winter), I thought perhaps it was a reed-stem
epidendrum; that also seems incorrect.
I believe it is a species; the person who gave it to
me pretty much sticks to species plants.
Sadly, it is mounted on a small cork square. The canes
are about 18" (.5m), no aerial roots, slightly
pubescent. Flowers are about 2" (50mm), vivid yellow,
with a slightly pouched lip - the lip may have a
slight fringe as the flowers finish opening. Scent of
melted wax.

Can anyone hazard a guess?
Thanks - Nancy
