An epidendrum? At first I thought it was a dendrobium kingianum because leaves look similar and the small growth at the base looks like new pseudobulb growths Ive seen on dendrobium kingianum, but the cane is much thinner and leaves seem thicker too. Never heard of a dendrobium orchid til few weeks ago and just learned of epidendrum today so dont know much about either. Or some sort of pleurothallis or restrepia? Ty for ur help!

It looks to me like an Epidendrum.

The plant looks immature to me so it will be a little hard to tell exactly what it is without more info. It could be Epidendrum or Dendrobium, or a host of other things. I think we can reliably say that it is not any kind of Pleurothallid (including Restrepia)

Growth appears to resemble my Den. chrysotoxum.

Looks to me like a reed-stem Epidendrum. Many of them make keikis freely, that develop great roots and become independent plants easily. Barkeria (a close relative of Epidendrum) can look like that too.

Thank you everyone for ur replies. As some of u said, Im pretty sure it is a keiki too as there is a spot around its base where it was clearly attached to something at some point. Too bad I don’t know what the mother plant looked like. It was lying in a tray all by itself with no other plants around resembling it except smaller dendrobiums. Will pot up in bark, try to give it good light and keep on the drier side and see how it does.

Epidendrums often have thinner canes and thicker leaves compared to Dendrobium kingianum, which typically features more slender, elongated leaves and thicker canes. Pleurothallis and Restrepia have very different growth forms and are usually smaller, with more compact and diverse leaf structures. To accurately identify your orchid, compare its growth pattern, leaf shape, and overall structure with known characteristics of these genera. Consulting a local orchid expert or using a plant identification app might also help clarify the species.
