Here are two pictures of my Cynorkis lowiana. Submitted to AOS judging twice and passed twice because of the ID issue. Swiss Orchid Foundation sites has a few pictures of this plant taken by Senghas, but apparently not enough. The same site has a picture of flower that is similar to orchidsworld's. Supposedly, this species does not carry more than one or two flowers, but I am guessing that is how it is found in nature. Under cultivation, some orchid species carry many more flowers. I also think morphological data is more important because there could be a population that may be quite distinct in flower count and some other features.
