This plant was sold to me as Chilo. usneoides, but conversations with a
semi-expert on leafless orchids seem to indicate that it's probably a
different species. Some alternate candidates are C. pusilla, C.
viridiflava, and C. parishii I grow this "leafless"
plant intermediate-warm in my orchidarium:

Prem,

Did you see the article in March's issue of Orchids? They showed pictures
of many of the Chiloschista.

I just got a Chiloschista trudelli a few weeks ago and it's in spike. It
should be a real cutie!
