Finding
Based on the description in Harding and Withner, 2004, "The Cattleyas and their Relatives-The Debatable Epidendrums", P. campos-portoi (as Anacheilium campos-portoi) is a unifoliate and P. kautskyi (as Anacheilium kautskyi) is bifoliate. This plant, as shown in the photos, is definitely bifoliate and according to the description is not P. campos-portoi, but is P. kautskyi. The number of basal maroon stripes in the lip also match P. kautskyi better than P. campos-portoi. Flower size is large for P. kautskyi.
