Common Name Shepheard's Maxillaria [English Orchid Collector in Colombia early 1900's]

Flower Size 3/4" [1.85 cm]

Found in Colombia and Venezuela as a small epiphyte and blooms in the spring. This species needs more info as it seems to be M hennisiana from the photo, but I can find no reference on synonymry.
