Finding
After receiving new photos, SITF has now determined this plant to be Laelia schultzei, not Laelia rosea (Jul 2024). This plant is a good match to L. schultzei. The three yellow keels, as well as the prominent rosy bracts fit very well. Laelia schultzei matches the descripton better than similiar species based mostly on lip length, the three main keels shown in the photo and the general form of the flower. Measurements based on Baker & Baker's description in the OW also fit L. shultzei. Very good match to the photo in the orchidroots.com.
