I believe Steve nailed it.

From Jay Pfahl's orchidspecies.com about spathoglottis:

This genus has 63 terrestrial species, widespread, ranging from Southern China south to The Philippines and west to Malaysia and Indonesia with the heaviest concentration in New Guinea. It is also an invasive genus in Hawaii to the east, as just in modern times has it been establishing a stronghold. They have ovoid, depressed psuedobulbs that carry a few folded, plicate, narrow leaves. They have a tall, thin inflorescence that arises from the basal leaf axil and have many successesive flowers that open over many months. These can be grown outside in the ground in South Florida gardens and culture is the same as for Phaius. They appreciate full sun and copius water and fertilizer after the new leads have appeared.
Common Name or Meaning Literally Flower tongue
