This mini-miniature epiphytic orchid grows in the Himalayas, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam at 700–2100 meters. It has tufted, erect to suberect, short, gray-green stems with fine black hairs and leathery, deciduous leaves. Blooming mostly in spring, it produces a short, axillary inflorescence with 3–5 fragrant, lemon-orange scented, long-lasting flowers held close to the pseudobulb. It thrives in warm to cold conditions in primary montane forests.
