Nervilia plicata
I found this Nervilia plicata tuber at the Pacific Orchid Exposition. The tuber is about as long as my 5th finger, but thicker. Does anybody have experience with this? It is a monsoonal tuberous orchid from a very wide habitat range: Assam to Taiwan, and south to Australia. This suggests to me it isn't too picky.
The vendor suggested planting it in loose organic matter in a pot and awaiting its awakening when the growing area warms in the spring.
