    I meant to make a footnote about this...
    orchidspecies.com shows this as being in the genus Grammangis and there are other similar references. Only thing is, the two species in Grammangis are endemic to Madagascar, whereas this species is found in Philippines, Java, Sumatra, New Guinea etc. Cootes in his book, Orchids of the Philippines, shows it as the name posted here.
    It is one of those species that morphologically doesn't seem to fit in any genus. Kind of like Inobulbum munificum.
    Weird and wonderful nonetheless!
