The flowers have a greenish yellow ground colour and transverse reddish brown bars; and they are fragrant. It is apparently very similar to P. fasciata, and is treated as a synonym with P. fasciata for purposes of hybrid registration. This isn't surprising since they are apparently easily confused. Judging from Christenson's treatment of it, I would guess that the taxonomy of this and several similar "species" is uncertain at best. He gives reasons for making a distinction between the two, but ... I don't see enough information to be able to judge one way or another. However you, or your supplier, or your orchid society, want to classify it, it looks like you'd have a nice plant. In the absence of any comment by Christenson about culture requirements, I'd be inclined to guess that it needs to be treated in a similar fashion as other phals, unless someone can contribute experience to suggest otherwise.
