Hello Justin,
                   You are absolutely right that it is not L. 
barkeriana. I would suggest that it is closest to L. longibracteata 
which is somewhat variable but is characterised by the bracts that can 
be clearly seen in the photograph. The colouring and shape of the 
flowers is close and probably in the range of L. longibracteata but I am 
not sure about only one leaf I would have expected two. Hope this gives 
you a starting point at least.

Regards
