You can add a Bulbophyllum makoyanum to that list. Though not a strong
scent, it sure makes you cringe when you smell it!

Bulbophyllum becharii
Bulbophyllum fletcherianum
Bulbophyllum virescens
Gastrodia cunninghamii
Habenaria unalascensis
Masdevallia gargantua

There are another 170 non-orchids listed in the software that fall
into either the "rank" or "nauseous" category. The relative strengths
of the smell are listed as faint, mild, strong, or overpowering.

The database also contains a list of the sweet smelling orchids with
descriptions and common names. See "Perfumers still rely on
traditional plants for base notes"
(http://www.crescentbloom.com/X/E/B/116.htm) for more.
