C. longiclavata has similar sized flowers with longer labellum fringes, petals and sepals that hang down and a smaller labellum. C. arrecta is distinctive with the petals being held up (reaching) and the sepals held down. C. ensata is distinguished by its smaller flowers with shorter petals and very short labellum fringes.
