Nice post (why didn't I read this before). Being a professional plan breeder myself (not orchids) I could start a long story on C. dolosa being missing from this study but in the end it's fairly simple.
C. ???? pendentive flowers from the top of the shoot which is something that is missing from the type description of C. walkerina which flowers from a seperative generative growth. True walkeriana's always follow this behaviour and no intermediate forms are know except hybrids.
Still good to know that simple morphology (the study of form that used to be the basis of taxonomy) can help answer some very complex questions.
Having a Kenny myself and due to the plant habit having some doubt on it being a Walkerina I'll be adding it to the plants for sale
