Bifrenaria inodora
A big flowered species with four sided pseudobulbs from the Atlantic forests of south-east Brazil. It grows in my house side by side to Bifrenaria harrisoniae, from which it is distinguished by the flowering season. B. inodora flowers 2 month later. The callus is different. And it has no scent. But the pollinators get a soft landing on the densely pubescent surface of the labellum.
Note: The last pic shows the callus of B. harrisoniae for comparison.
