Schomburgkia Question about Schomburgkia undulata

The genus was named in 1838 by Lindley, with Schomburgkia crispa, a large sized, hot growing plant found in the tropical areas of Venezuela, Surinam, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, as the Type species. In 1941, Schom. crispa was moved to the genus Laelia by L.O.Williams. Its accepted name is now Laelia marginata. The member species of Schomburgkia have since been moved to different genera: Myrmecophila, Laelia, and Pseudolaelia.
