what an interesting little flower

 

This is very (!) doubtfully R. chasei, a species only known from Central Peru. R. chasei has a notched lip apex and broadly rounded petals that are shallowly notched at the apex with a minute sharp point in the notch. That and in their natural position the petals are almost as long as the lip. The plant in the photograph isn't close for these 3 features.

 

pulchra has red spotted petals and lip base, rounded petals, and a deeply bilobed lip.
