Thanks mystrochilum and Ursula. Nice to finally get an ID on this, 6 years after I spotted it.
nah, this is Polystachya kermesina Kraenzl.
nice spec!
amazing! :)
Thanks Craig! I thought Bulbo at first too but I'm not sure.
This is a real gem! Not a clue though. As far as I'm aware Bulbo's have a hinged lip, which this doesn't seem to have.
