It's a Hyalosoma AquaGem, but doesn't quite look like a bandischii. http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25889

I have a piece of the type specimen collected by Rudolph Bandisch and the flowers have much narrower sepal elements from this flower.

Very interesting bloom, whatever it may be!

It's possible it could be un-named. There are a lot of these PNG Bulbo sp. that are just subtle variations of each other.

Hyalosema is really bad for this too.

Consider B arfakianum, B. fraudulentum, and B. fritillariiflorum. Or B grandiflorum and B bufordensis.

The main difference between B. arfakianum and B fritillariiflorum is the shape of those tiny petals next to the lip. I really don't know the difference between a B grandiflorum and a bufordensis myself.
