Also compared this plant to S. bueraremensis; however, this plant has three crests in throat while the photo of S. bueraremensis has only two? Photos of S. novaesiae in the OW are a close match to this plant. It is an exact match to the photo of S. novaesiae in Aldrich & Higgins, Compendium of Orchid Genera.
