Finding
SITF confirms this plant as Coelogyne carinata (Jan 2025). The lip of the similar species, Coelogyne guamensis, has 5-12 keels according to the key in Clayton's "The Genus Coelogyne: A Synopsis". This has about 3 keels, which better fits C. carinata. In Clayton's description of C. carinata, he details the upright side lobes, erose-margined clawed midlobe, and three keels that diverge and then converge distally. Also, there is a good match of this plant to the photo of C. carinata.
