    Default Dendrobium - looks like anceps

    This orchid looks a lot like Dendrobium anceps, but it is different. The flowers are distinctly striped and the stem/leaf arrangement is different. Any ideas what this is?

    On a related note, does anyone know where to find a taxonomic key for diagnosing which species this is? Maybe such a thing doesn't exist online.

    Can't help with the ID but love the flowers and looks like it has an attractive growth habit.

    I got an accurate ID from another forum. It is Dendrobium distichum!
