Default Unknown Small Unifolate Cattleya

I would appreciate any help in identifying this orchid! I have looked on the internet for a while and can't find one pic of a Cattleya that is anywhere near this small and unifolate.

My other Cattleya is a labiata, but nothing looks like this one. Would it just be called a mini Catt?

I am more curious than concerned to know what kind this is. One thing I do know is that it needs some serious dividing and repotting.



Quarter is for size reference.

We'll only have a chance of being close once it blows, but based upon the shape of the pseudobulbs, is suspect it's not a cattleya at all, but more likely a dendrobium or coelogyne.

Looks like Dendrobium lindleyi, formerly known as aggregatum.

Interesting! When I got it a couple weeks ago, I mistook it for a lycaste at first just based on descriptions until I realized it didn't have pleated leaved. Since it looks kinda like the other Cattleya I have, I made that assumption.

Thanks for a point in the right direction!
