This is Aerides odorata. As the name suggests it is very fragrant with lemon + vanilla + rose smell. This had conical spur which is curved forward. In R. retusa, the spur is inflated and there are of course spots on petals and sepals. Leaves of these never turn red like R. retusa and retusa also has retuse lip apex this has bilobed. Other which there are many more differenced once you dissect. Thanks for sharing. Pankaj
