Well........... I checked FCBS and had it narrowed down to a handful of Aechmeas and a couple of Lymanias, but upon closer comparison I knocked them all off the list except one, which is Ae. lingulata.

Unfortunately the FCBS photo of lingulata kind of sucks, but it's a pretty good match with pictures in both Baensch's and Leme's books, so that's what I'm going with.

Here's a slightly better picture. The pics in the 2 books don't show a red stem so that may be kind of variable.

Here is a link that might be useful: Ae. lingulata

Lisa you got closer than I could have, does resemble that one.
My spike does not have as much red in it and the color of buds on the lingulata appear to be very pale, but does have the tiny white flowers.
The base of my plant has a strong blush where the lingulata does not.

This is one of John's that was picked up in Brazil several years back. Does not have a name so am going to bite the bullet and cut the spike and a leaf and send it in for an ID.
Nelwyn was pretty sure it had not been named, but it may have. Just have to wait and see.
Since this would be my first, have to say I am a little more than excited about possibly naming one!!

If you send it to the BIC, Patris, be sure to do it before it's finished blooming. Harry needs to examine the floral parts. He may be able to pry open a dried flower, but it's much easier with a live one.

Don't get your hopes up about naming it, though. If it's an undescribed species then a botanist will have to describe it and name it. This involves giving a detailed description of all plant parts (in Latin!), knowing the precise location where it was collected, as well as where it fits into the genus as a whole and how it differs from similar species. All this would have to be published in the BSI Journal. It's a whole different deal from just naming a cultivar.

If it's just a matter of some color differences on the stem or leaf, that's not enough to call it a new species, but if the floral parts have different dimensions from Ae. lingulata, then that's another story. Harry will know.
