Finding

SITF confirms this plant as Dendrobium ypsilon (not ypsilum) (Aug 2022); correct based on measurements of the plant segments and inflorescences, which arise near the apex of the pseudobulbs and the lip and mentum, which are both a match for this species; the flower image is very close to that on the IOSPE, OW, and several images in orchidroots.com.
