This should be Dendrobium macrostachyum sometimes back changed to
Dendrobium aphyllum, but seems they are soon going to revert back.
For the time being lets stick to D. macrostachyum.
Thanks for sharing. Please try to share a bit better resolution
pictures.

Dr. Pankaj Ji, the flower is white whereas the green shoots shown in
the picture are the tender leaves of the plant.
Regards
Yazdy.

Sorry, I saw now. That is a totally different species sir. Of course
D. cucullatum.
Attached are images of these two plants from myside.
Right now upper one is Dehdrobium cucullatum and lower is called
Dendrobium aphyllum (earlier known as Dendrobium macrostachyum).
