SITF confirms this plant as Dendrobium ochraceum (Apr 2026). It is a good match to the various photos on Orchidroots and OW. It also is a good match for the D. ochraceum photo on the Vietnamese Orchids Website, http://www.hoalanvietnam.org/. This flower does appear to be larger than in the description on the IOSPE, but it closely matches the photos of the plant and flowers in the POWO.
