This plant was from Negros island. It has a number of synonyms (Bulbophyllum clavigerum [Fitz.] F. Mueller 1884; Bulbophyllum kenejianum Schltr. 1913; Bulbophyllum layardii [F. Meul. & Krnzl.]J.J.Sm. 1912; Bulbophyllum trisetum Ames 1912; Cirrhopetalum africanum Schlechter 1915; Cirrhopetalum clavigerum Fitz. 1883; Cirrhopetalum kenejianum Schlechter 1915; Cirrhopetalum layardii F. Meuller & Krnzl. 1894; Cirrhopetalum longiflorum [Thou.]Schlechter 1915; Cirrhopetalum thomasinii Lindley ex Josst 1851; Cirrhopetalum thouarsii Lindley 1824; Cirrhopetalum thouarsii var. concolor Rolfe 1892; Cirrhopetalum trisetum (Ames) Garay, Hamer & Siegerist 1994; Cirrhopetalum umbellatum [Forst.] Hkr. & Arn 1832; Cymbidium umbellatum [Forst.] Spreng. 1815; Epidendrum umbellatum Forst. 1786; Inobulbum layardii (F.Muell. & Kraenzl.) M.A.Clem. & D.L.Jones 1998 ; Phyllorchis clavigera [Fitz.] Ktze. 1891; Phyllorchis longiflora Kuntze 1891; Phyllorchis thouarsii [Lindl.]Ktze 1891; Phyllorchis umbellata [Forst.]Ktze. 1891), and is very widely distributed, almost throughout the orchid world, except for the Americas.
The generic name depends on whether you are a splitter (Cirrhopetalum), or a lumper (Bulbophyllum, from section Cirrhopetalum).
One of the most striking Cirrhopetalums, in my opinion.
