Phalaenopsis fimbriata was discovered in 1921 in Java, and has purported a range from Sumatra to Sarawak (Borneo). As the name suggests, it has a distinct fimbriate lip that looks like a raised fringe with small projections on the edges at the midlobe of the lip. It is quite fragrant but it is not pleasant -- smells like burnt rubber and ammonia to me.
These are siblings from the same cross but have very different shape and forms. The one I've labeled #1 has larger flowers and "flatter" blooms, while #2 has the normal form of this species.
