Default Gongora galeata
I usually get more spikes than just one, but I'll deal with it
I love the smell of this one...reminds me of pineapple (My favorite fruit!)

This is a classic Gongora species that I really need to get. Yours looks great too.

Pamela,
If you are trying to dry out your Gongora, thats probably the reason it dropped its leaves. These guys like to be fairly moist, like a Phalaenopsis.
