Julie,
In fact both are right, depending on what you think
is correct.
B. grandiflora is a validly published name, and if
I recall correctly it has different shaped leaves, is a larger plant, does not
grow in the same area as the normal nodosa, and does not have those few spots on
the lip directly under the column. To check for the spots you almost have to
remove the lip to see if they are there or not.

Subject: [OGD] B. nodosa
Dear orchidnuts
Wishing all a happy and floriferous new
year!
I have three plants of Brassavola
nodosa. Two are regular size, the other much larger altogether, which I
have as B. nodosa var. grandiflora.
Is it a different species?
The smaller plants come from Cozumel,
Mexico and Lara, Venezuela. The larger plant is a division from a Jones and
Scully plant, bought in the Sixties and shown in their catalog
as B. grandiflora.
Which is right?
Julie, in a very rainy Caracas
