    After reading Christenson's descriptions and looking at the photos, I would say honghenensis. The lip on wilsonii is heart-shaped (obcordate) with a distinctive apically notched midlobe. The lip midlobe on honghenensis is more oblong. Wilsonii also typically has longer spikes and more flowers. He also mentions that honghenensis has a short nipple-like spur, but the photos provided don't show detail in that area of the flower.
