Dendrobium gratiosissimum

Dendrobium gratiosissimum Rchb.f., Bot. Zeitung (Berlin) 23: 99 1865. (Syn: Callista boxaleii (Rchb.f.) Kuntze; Callista gratiosissima (Rchb.f.) Kuntze; Callista gratissima (Rchb. f.) Kuntze (Unresolved); Dendrobium boxallii Rchb.f.; Dendrobium bullerianum Bateman);

Orchidaceae: Dendrobium gratiosissimum: Old picture, taken at my home in Bangalore.

Habitat is NE India (Assam) and SE Asian countries like China, Burma, Thailand and Vietnam

That acuminate apex is very strange. Shouldn't have been there in a true Dendrobium gratiossimum.

But beautiful pic.
