Peter,
Thanks for the note - it's a great help.
I found a lot of the same info, but not as in-depth, in the Baker and Baker

Could somebody point me in the right direction please?

described, so your use of the name Dendrobium farmeri var. aurea is
incorrect (plus, it would be "aureum", not "aurea").
