EDIT: ID now sorted see comments below
Any idea what it is?
Bulbophyllum longiscapum
pak sheikh, I believe your image is of B. longiscapum; section Intervallatae. The only reservation I have with this name is that B.longiscapum is normally papilose on either side of the central ridges on the lip. Distribution Guadalcanal, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. The epitaph refers to the very long (up to 70cm long) tough wiry inflorescence, which produces a single flower up to 2.5cm long. The single flowers are produced sequentially over an extended period of time. Looking at the number of bracts behind the flower in your picture it looks as though your plant has already produced many flowers. Could be B.macrochyllum will post a picture.

You have the plant and you are able to compare with the images you have seen. If you are happy with that...yes.
