Bracts ovate, flowers about 0.6-1.4cm wide, lateral sepals oblong lanceolate, dorsal sepal oblanceolate, lip flat, side lobes very small, rounded, the hairs in the lip yellowish green (green basically) - *Dendrobium ovatum *
In *D. barbatulum* Bracts very small, flowers about 2.5cm wide, lateral sepals lanceolate, slightly falcate, dorsal linear lanceolate, lip flat 3-lobed, rhomboid-ovate, hairs in the lip with yellow-brown hairs. I agree with Pankaj that the plant in the picture is *Dendrobium ovatum *of Orchidaceae family.
