This small epiphytic orchid is found in Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, the Lesser Sunda Islands, and Sumatra in lowland forests up to 400 meters. It thrives in hot conditions, growing on tree trunks and branches. The plant has pseudobulbs with a single, apical leaf. Blooming in fall and winter, it produces an erect, bract-covered inflorescence up to 8 inches (20 cm) long. The umbel of fragrant but unpleasant-smelling flowers appears just beyond leaf height.
