Default Label Help with Laelia

I was given a very badly overgrown plant with a partly readable label that looks like "L. pulche..."

Could be ...ma or runa or long or ... I don't know.

Any ideas as I keep hitting deadends with the name. Any help appreciated!

i came up with the same thing. Does you label list the cross?
Laelia Pulcherrima is a primary cross (Laelia puprpurata x L. lobata)

No other info on the tag - it's handwritten and smudged.

I surfed around a bit on the web and it looks like Laelia Pulcherrima has L. purpurata-like plant structure. By that I mean that the couple photos I could find appeared to show a plant with a single long narrow leaf out of each p-bulb (although it could be a scale issue in that I don't know how big the blooms are in the photos). My plant has about a 60-40 split on two leaves per bulb vs. single leaves and they are about as narrow as L. purpurata but not as long.

Do you know if that might accurately describe L. Pulcherrima?

Thanks again for the help!!
