Sorry for the brief description in the opening.
'Peloric' is normally understood to mean that the petals mimic the lip - at least partially.
'Lateral peloric' is short for 'peloric on the lateral sepals'. This occurs with some regularity in Cymbidiums, but is less common in Cattleyas.
While you can't see it in the flower facing the camera, there is a lot of yellow higher up in the lip (as can be seen on the partially hidden flower).
