Anacheilium cochleatum
This is a continuous bloomer. Has two pbulbs. I can't imagine how it will perform with more pbulbs.
This is an excellent example of a non resupinate orchid. That is, most orchids twist around 180 degrees before blooming, so they are anatomically upside down. This is one of those that is "correct" in anatomy (this one must have read the book on plant morphology), with the lip on the dorsal side.
