The variety name is fuerstenbergianum.
Variety name
Tom, fuerstenbergianum is a accepted Dendrobium species from Thailand and not a variety of Den. christyanum.
We might have to get Bernard to measure the canes on his christyanum for comparison.

Some taxonomists have treated Den. fuerstembergianum as just a variety of Den. christyanum, so it all depends on whom you want to believe. Personally, I can't see the major difference between the normal variety and this variety in term of flower structure.
I will post a picture of my normal Den. christyanum in another thread.
