Plocoglottis sp. (acuminata?)
Found in the forest in a trail away from the lodge, in a non cultivated area of the forest. For such reason I am pretty confident that it is a wild orchid from the area of Sukau, Sabah.

@VivBraznell: Thanks for the tips from Craig. The genus is for sure Plocoglottis and I think it looks like P. acuminata. As there are also spottings of this species in the area of Sukau I have placed this, as tentative ID. Once again, thanks for looking into it, Viv ;-)
Thank you very much for your help! I will add it shortly :-)
Hi Marta! I asked Craig & Dan as they are both into orchids :) Craig has replied "Plocoglotis gigantea. A shot of the leaves would help but Marta can check those in online pics." Hope this helps :)
Thanks, I hope so too :-)
Stunning orchid Marta! I hope someone can help you identify it.
