When you get a chance, could you post a closer view of the flower, and perhaps one near the pseudobulb/soil level? And maybe get something in the picture for size comparision?
Whatever it is, it is healthy and happy, not to mention pretty - the way it seems to "run" reminds me of Maxillaria species, but a closer view of the pseudobulb would definitely help, along with something like a lead pencil included to give a clue to the overall size.

I went to look this up and from what I see, Dinema polybulbon was changed to Epidendrum polybulbon var. luteo-album then it morphed into it's current name, Encyclia polybulbon.
Dontcha love taxonomy?
It is really nice - it is suppose to be fragrant - did you get a whiff? And if so, was it a nice fragrance?

Dinema polybulbon is the correct name in the Kew list. I also agree with ID.
Epidendrum polybulbon is the original combination. Encyclia polybulbon was a Dressler combination, but currently accepted is Dinema p. (Sw) Lindl.
The var. luteoalba/lutealbum is a heterotypic synonym, as is Epidendrum cubincola and Bulbophyllum occidentale.

Too bad about the lack of fragrance - that is such a nice bonus! But it is a beauty regardless.
And yeah - names changes throw me sometimes, but that just another cross to bear with orchid collecting! I hope this does well for your aunt! Have a great spring!

Epidendrum polybulbon was described in 1788.
Dinema polybulbon was set in 1831, therefore, has not changed in 180 or so years. Pretty darn stable, really.
Dressler's combination from 1961 did not take hold, so can be ignored.
Heterotypic synonyms are not name changes but some people did not know that the species had already been described.
