This orchid is found in Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo, growing in moist, shady lowland forests, often on trees overhanging rivers at elevations of 50 to 2300 meters. It is a medium-sized epiphyte with clustered, ovoid, wrinkled pseudobulbs carrying a single, apical, plicate, elliptic leaf. Blooming on a newly developing pseudobulb, it produces a 12.5 cm long, slender, single-flowered inflorescence enclosed by imbricate bracts. The flowers open successively, remain partially closed, and face downward.
