I have confirmed as C. trilabra, but that species is now considered to be the same as C. reflexa.

With those long calli and them not extending completely to the apex could it also be a candidate for C. seminuda?

My understanding is that seminuda does not have that ridge down to the end of the labellum whereas the end of the labellum is smooth in seminuda. I could be wrong though.
