According to Darrin Norton, Mountain Orchids, the plant in the photo is Pelatantheria scolopendrifolia.
Its growth habit and cultural requirements are similar to Mediocalcar decoratum.

Darrin Norton, Mountain Orchids, grows this plant. I don't know if he has any for sale, but you can contact him for more info.

E-mail Darrin at info@mountainorchids.com or visit the website.

Pelatantheria scolopendrifolia and Cleisostoma scolopendrifolia are synonymous.
Mountain Orchids business is in the US but he may be able to direct you to a European source.
