this is a cross between Clowesia Grace Dunn and Catasetum tenberosum, psedubolb is stout but plump, thanks to the clowesia gene but size is much bigger compare to the clowesia relative. this rooting system of this plant like the clowesia is with abundant pneumatophore, but much more vigorous in nature. for that, i do recon this plant to be planted in basket netting like this one here, or mounted to have allow the rooting system to develop naturally. coloration of the bloom is 'very tenebrosum'.

catasetum rectangulare
according to internet citation, when this species was initially discovered, it was mistaken for catasetum callosum alba.
however, the labellum and the lateral sepals will enable one to tell the difference between a rectangulare and a callosum alba. the lateral margin of the lobe margin are parallel before they converge into each other at the lip apex. in callousm, the lib is triangular in shape;
the lateral sepals of rectagulare are with sickle shapre slightly while it is straight in the callosum.
