    Well, you already know it is a dendrobium. All I can add is that it is a antelope dendrobium. I bet someone can help with the identification. I am moving your post to the orchid identification request forum for more attention.

    cheers,

    WELL I HAVE COME UP WITH : Dendrobium delacourii, Dendrobium macrophyllum (most likely i think) and Dendrobium alexanderae (least likely considering this species has a sharply pointed lip)

    Of the photos in Millar's Orchids of Papua New Guinea, it most resembles Den. conanthum. In any case, it belongs to Section Spatulata ("antelope horn")

    Michael: but i think this isn't den conanthum because it don't have similar lips and petal...i think..it's lip similar with den. mirbelianum and its petal similar with den. soriense, any way thanks for your help..
