This miniature-sized, hot-growing epiphytic orchid is endemic to Sarawak, Borneo, where it grows at low elevations of 100 to 200 meters. It has distant, cylindrical pseudobulbs, each carrying a single, erect, coriaceous, elliptic leaf that gradually narrows into a petiolate base. Blooming in late spring, it produces a short, 9.5 to 11 cm long, spreading inflorescence with 15 to 17 non-resupinate flowers that open widely and mostly simultaneously.
