This is Dendrobium, but in this condition its hard to id. If I had to give one guess then on the basis of drooping stem and small fruit (the one small thing hanging from one stem, if it is a fruit) this should be Dendrobium aphyllum (earlier known as Dendrobium macrostachyum) which has green coloured flowers.
