Finding
SITF confirms this plant as Dendrobium particolor (Apr 2025). This species is similar to D. keystianum, but can be distinguished by a smaller flower and shorter floral bracts. It differs in having slightly narrower leaves, a narrower sepal, a shorter mentum, and a shorter lip. These flowers and bracts are too small to fit D. keystianum. The description of D. keystianum says the bracts are 1 cm. The floral bracts on this plant are .3cm. This plant matches the drawing and description found in the On-Line "Orchids of New Guinea" https://www.orchidsnewguinea.com/orchidinformation/species/speciescode/2920
