This one also seems to have hairs on the labellum too. Kind of visible in the first picture. Could be subspecies villosum?

Yes I am thinking, I have been wrong. There is Dendrobium panduratum subsp. villosum misidentified as De. panduratum or D. heyneanum.....of course MY MISTAKE.

Frankly speaking, a lesson for me too. Personally I have been thinking all plants I have seen of this species are D heyneanum!!

Now going through these conversations made me realise I have not been paying enough attention to the labellum. Thank you.

Regards

Ravee

Hi, Pankaj ji,

May I request you to have a relook at all our posts at Dendrobium heyneanum, if anyone wrongly included here.

I would say this is also Dendrobium panduratum var. villosum

My id is based on the fact that I can see the hairs towards the base of the labellum. Which should be absent in Dendrobium heyneanum.
