Bletilla formosana
It is a native species distributed in lowland and up to high mountainous areas in Taiwan. Compared with Bletilla striata, the bloom of this species is smaller.

Nice to see that it is not nodding down like striata.

They are seldom grown here. i have striata tipo as well. the new growth just begins growing and it may bloom in one month later.
